COACH'S QUOTE
"Today was one crazy ride," head coach
Matt Belfield said. "Zane winning the 800 out of the second-seeded section was a shocker, especially to the men in the top section. The bunch of silver medals today by our seniors and captains was really wonderful and some were really close to victory. I'm very grateful to have a couple of teams so committed to success; and a staff that is so dedicated to see that it happens."
