QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"The momentum from Thursday night carried over to today and it helped produce some quality relay performances. Great to have the Women's 4 x100 and 4x400 in tomorrow's finals. The men achieved the same as well and on the way to the final of the 4x100m tied the school record. The men's DMR put up a super run in the event, just coming up short of winning the college title, but had the consolation of breaking the school record. Again, like last night, it was exciting to see how our athletes competed on this big stage and showed that they are not intimidated by some of the big-name programs in the event. After a good night's rest, we look forward to seeing our relay teams finish the weekend with some more quality performances," said head coach Andrew Ronan.
