Holland Results

Another dual meet and another solid meet for our Maroons across the board! I can still barely wrap my head around the fact that last night was our Senior Night... In the day-to-day, time can seem to move slowly, but looking big-picture August 10th to now has gone FAST! 

As a coach, the best thing about watching last night was seeing how mentally tough people stayed throughout races and throughout the meet. We had lots of people bearing down for the last portion of their race, and then hopping up for the next one and doing the same thing. And Emily Bolt showed great mental toughness throughout her 6 dives and especially on the last one, knowing where she had to be to nab a win but not letting that get to her. When we can consistently do that for each of our four swims and each of our six dives, taking things one step at a time and then refocusing for the next step, that puts us in a great spot and lets the overall results take care of themselves. I'm proud to see where we've come in that that respect this year, and our focus is going to pay off as we finish up this season!
