"Going back-to-back meets, especially with the same format, requires a lot of mental toughness. The team has been working hard during winter training, and it was great to see them be able to perform well while tired," said Owls' head coach Chris Woolridge. "I'm looking forward to one more week of winter training before we shift gears and start to focus on LEC Championships!"
 
When talking about the Owls' six seniors, Woolridge expressed how much the six have meant to the team over their time with the program, along with how senior day went overall honoring them, "I am so appreciative of everything that our seniors bring to this team with their swimming, mentorship, and attitude. They have done a great job leading a young team through what has been a great season so far. It was wonderful to see so many alumni return to the pool today to show their support for the graduating seniors and the team!"
 
Congrats to the Owls' six seniors, Rory Lee, Victoria Welch, Olivia Boulris, Kyleigh Dyer, Leo Lauridsen, and Evan Keefe! We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!
