"It was a great Senior Day, and I was really excited to honor all seven seniors and all they've done for our program," said Head Coach Tanner Barton. "Annamarie's tempo in the 50 Backstroke was great, and Audrey had an incredible meet. She had never had an individual collegiate victory, and now she won the 1000 Free and the 100 IM. She's also doing her student teaching right now, so swimming in the mornings and student teaching in the afternoons, which is great. It's been the great weekend of racing. We have two meets next week, so we're excited to keep racing and training hard to get ready for the OAC Championship." "

The Blue Streaks will have another busy weekend ahead next week. John Carroll gets to stay at home on Friday, hosting Baldwin Wallace for an OAC rivalry meet at 6 pm.
