"It was a great meet against three league opponents," said Navy women's swimming head coach

"The highlight of today was the amount of racing that took place," said Navy men's swimming head coach
Bill Roberts. "We were really happy with how the team performed this afternoon as we continue to prepare for upcoming meets."
