Head Coach Kaelyn Cowan's Post-Meet Thoughts
"I'm proud of the athletes today for not only breaking a total record but also individual heat records. I could not have asked for more from them. I think what helped us was some fuel from the meet on Saturday. We had some mistakes and today we came in with a new confidence and were able to reach new heights."
