HEAR FROM COACH GREVERS
"Meredith got it done in the morning and started us off tonight with a great 100 backstroke. We carried that momentum into the 400 medley relay where we saw some incredible swims out of some fresh bodies. We had two huge lifetime bests out of Alex in the breaststroke leg and Taylor in the butterfly leg. The Lady Tigers are excited to get after our last day tomorrow."
