What They Are Saying
Wingate head coach Kevin Hennessy
 
"Overall, this was a great meet and a great weekend in Tampa. We are always love getting to see our team step up and race. Even shorthanded, we raced and competed against a couple of the top teams in the country. Going against Tampa and Lynn was a great test as well as a lot of fun."
 
"Both of these teams have a lot of good swimmers and there was a lot of great racing all the way around. We are looking forward to seeing them both again at nationals in March. We are very proud of this team and where we are after our last dual meet. With conference coming up in a month, we are very excited to see how we finish out the year. WU WHAT? WU SWIM!"
 
Wingate freshman student-athlete Ethan Suessmuth (Pottstown, Pa.)
 
"This weekend was really great…getting back to racing, especially in the warm Florida weather. Even with a hard training week and travelling, we all put our heads down and raced hard, putting up some great close races and keeping a positive and fun atmosphere."
 
"This was a great way to end the dual meet season. We are thankful to the University of Tampa for hosting us and Lynn University. Now we are looking forward to the South Atlantic Conference meet, going to compete and putting together some great swims!"
