"I think it was great to swim against some outside competition and get into competition mode. They came in this weekend and showed they can race," head coach
Phil Kraus said. "We had some really good swims and some performances that were faster than we expected, so we are pleased with their effort tonight."
UWF had the top three times in the 100 breaststroke, the 100 freestyle and the 100 fly.
The UWF diving team will be in action on Saturday and Sunday, competing in a diving invitational against Georgia Southern, Birmingham Southern and Emory at the Moose Moss Aquatic Center in Moultrie, Georgia. The teams will perform on the 1-meter board on Saturday and the 3-meter board on Sunday.
