Head Coach Tana McKay
On how close the score got…
"Well to come down to the wire like that, it definitely made for another exciting meet. It puts a lot of pressure on the last event group, I gotta hand it to the Reiners for pulling it out. As they walk into the arena, they have that scoreboard staring at them. Knowing exactly what's on the line, I thought they handled the pressure really well."
