Following the final results, coach Jerod Simek said, "the women's team swam lights out today with multiple season best times and strong performances. We are pretty broken down right now at this point in the season so it has been nice to see the energy, attitude, and grit of our girls staying so strong! McKendree was right behind us last year in conference so we wanted to make sure we could put on a good showing to see where we stack up for the end of the year and we definitely did that today! GO DOGS!"
