QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"Both men's relays were outstanding, the guys gave all they had in both events, just short on winning the 4x100, then after some confusion about their participation in the 4x400, they come up triumphs with a school record. The ladies were not to be outdone, they went under 47 seconds in the 4x100 for first time this season and then came back with a big effort in the 4x400. It's been a long 3 days in Philly, but a very productive one filled with very good performances and great memories," said head coach Andrew Ronan.
