What They Are Saying
 
Wingate senior Layton Anderson: I thought we, as a team, swam well this weekend. It would've been easy to lay down after a hard few weeks of training, but I was impressed with the way we approached the meet and attacked each swim. I think we've set ourselves up very well to swim fast at the upcoming Fall Frenzy and also in the end at conference/nationals. I'm excited to get back to work the next couple of weeks before we get to swim fast again."
 
"I wanted to give a shout out to Miguel Marcos for swimming the 400 IM (very fast) right after the 200 Free (also very fast) and then being ready to swim the relay at the end as well. Today was just another step in the process and I expect us to put the pieces together even more at Fall Frenzy and be even faster than we were this weekend."
 
Wingate senior Madison Moffitt: "Overall, I think the team did a really good job racing…and putting their hands on the wall first. This is the first time that I have swam at this meet when we have suited up and got rested a little bit. I think getting the opportunity to suit up gave everyone a little bit of a confidence booster going into this meet. Emory has always been a good team to race, so this meet has always brought good competition."
 
"I am pleased with my individual performances from this weekend. I had two season-best times and was not far from posting season-best times in my other events. I am looking forward to the remainder of the season and getting the opportunity to end my senior year on a strong note. We have Catawba and LR next weekend and Fall Frenzy the weekend afterwards. Fall Frenzy has always been a great mid-season meet to see where everyone is at heading into the holidays. With all the training that we have been doing over the past few months, I think it's really starting to pay dividends. I can't wait to see how the rest of the season goes."
