TENSE MOMENT OF THE MEET
3 meter diving was complete and both our teams NEEDED to win the 100 BR in order to win the meet. I spoke to all 4 swimmers, putting the pressure on their shoulders. The women's team was up first and Erika Bareiss (SO) was up for the challenge. She not only won the event but earned a PB. Bareiss was also a part of the wining 200 medley relay.
Now, it was time for the men's team to do their part. Drew Teter (JR) is mostly a fly/IMER but today he was swimming the 100 BR. He earned a PB, 4th place on the top ten times and won the event! Teter was also part of the winning 200 Medley relay team as well as winning the 200 IM.
