FROM HEAD COACH MARC RUH:

"We accomplished everything we had set out to accomplish this weekend. We raced a lot, which is huge for us at this time in the season, with some athletes competing in as many as 18 different swims over the course of three days. We had several athletes win multiple events and a couple even earned top 10 times in the state up to this point. I'm really proud of how they performed and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season."

NEXT UP:

The Mounties will head up north to compete in the Cuesta Swimming and Diving Invite in San Luis Obispo March 6-7.
