“I was very happy with the way we started the season,” said head coach Jack Stover. “We competed as a team with some swimmers competing in events that are not their best but did so to help the team. The energy and excitement in the pool was at a level we have not seen in a while here at Brockport. This is a great way to start the season and gives us a great level to build on for the rest of the season.”
