On his over thoughts on the team’s performance today…
“Another strong day for the women to finish out. Elizabeth and Emma making the B final just barely out of the A and Ashley coming through again with her 3rd A final of the meet finishing 6th. That’s a lot of team points in a very close team race. The women represented the Gators with tons of class. Hats off to Ashley for a truly outstanding meet. She was phenomenal.”
