Having already swam against Air Force this season and set to compete against Mines the following week, head coach Dave Denniston is using this week’s meet tactically. He wants his student-athletes that don’t always get the chance to swim in meet settings to show out.

“This meet is great for swimmers who don’t always have the opportunity to showcase the hard work they’ve been putting in all season,” Denniston said. “This is a chance for them to compete.”
