“We coaches are so proud of our swimmers for showing up and showing off tonight,” said LYC coach Camrynn McTeer. “We had some amazing swims, and this will be a meet we will never forget.

This meet was an all-around great time, and it was great to see swimmers from both teams reunited, swimming together again, and, most of all, having fun.”
