What They Are Saying
Wingate senior team captain
Franziska Muhlberger
Â
"Our first dual meet of the season against LR was a great success and start to our season. We kept an amazing energy throughout the whole meet and were able to win on both the men's and women's sides. Even though we all have been tired and sore from the last weeks of practice, we raced nevertheless and put some great swims out there. I am excited to see what this season has in store for us."Â
