QUOTE FROM COACH MANDY COMMONS-DISALLE
"Heading into today was not just about racing a championship team but focusing and resetting coming off a night of competition. I think the team handled the challenge very well today and executed how they needed to. They were focused and smart about preparing for each race. We had a number of personal-best times this weekend which shows me that all of our work is coming together at the right time. In the coming weeks we are going to focus on fine-tuning our racing while we start to add in some much-needed rest. The mental training is as important as physical training this at this point in the season in order for us to be ready to go down in Dallas."

The Bearcats are done with their regular season and start to prepare for the three day American Athletic Conference Championships in Dallas, Texas starting on February 16.
