"However, some great things happened.  Delise Batiza, Michaela Paige, Lauren Kaufrman, Paola Hernandez and Kelsey Lange continued to show this team what the definition of racing is!   Nicolette Goncalves showed us that she is going to a dominate player to this team today!  I guarantee we see her swim faster faster as the season goes on.
