POST MEET QUOTES
Head coach Steve Bultman on the meet …
"It was a really good win against sixth-ranked Tennessee. Obviously, they were missing some people that raced at Pan Ams, but we were missing two women as well. They are a good team, but we really stepped up. There were a bunch of races that I thought would be pretty close and we ended up handling things well, so it was exciting. I was really pleased with our distance group and our backstrokers stepped up as well. They flyers also stepped up, those were the three strokes that helped us out the most, as well as the 400 IM at the end."
UP NEXT
The Aggies will host Georgia Tech and Texas on Friday, Nov. 3 at 3 p.m. for a double dual meet. Saturday, Nov. 4 Georgia Tech will stick around and compete against the Maroon & White in a Long Course Meters meet.
