“We now have 33 swimmers who have earned their way to Southeastern Championships,” said Coach Andy Wagner. “We also have other swimmers improving and achieving new goals, and knocking on the door to future championship meets. Our team has bonded well, we have a great culture, and I am very proud of this team.”

The team will next be swimming at the Southeastern Championships in Knoxville for those swimmers who achieved challenging time cuts. Performances at that championship may open doors for even more prestigious national championship meets for some swimmers.
