Week #9: 10/6-10/11

What an incredible D3 Invitational this weekend! We are so proud of you girls. With so many season and lifetime bests, this meet was an exciting glimpse of what’s to come in November. Beyond the fast swims and strong dives, what stood out most was your teamwork—the way you cheered for one another, encouraged your teammates, and brought so much positivity to the deck. That’s what makes this team so special!

A huge thank you to our amazing parents for all your help and support; the meet ran so smoothly, and we couldn’t do any of this without you!
