Our stands are filled with family, friends, and alumni all to watch our seniors close out their dual meet careers in the Klotsche Natatorium. The meet is always filled with smiles, happy tears, group photos, and great swims. We couldn't be prouder of this group, and we are looking forward to seeing what they all become."
