From the Coaches
Head Coach Braden Holloway
"We had a fantastic finish to a great weekend for our women," said Holloway. "While a lot of people counted us out, we battled hard this weekend and impressed a lot of people. Our women have never given up all year; they fought hard every day of the season and this was no exception. The biggest moment that capped our weekend was our big group in the mile, putting four girls in the top six. It was an outstanding beginning of the night for us. Obviously we scored some pretty good points in the 200 backstroke and other points here and there throughout the night that led us to the last indivudal event of the meet, the other big moment for us and that was Madeline Kline on platform getting the victory. We potentially have a lot of ladies qualifying for NCAAs, obviously we had some automatic qualifying times and some that sit pretty well that we feel pretty good about and then we have a lot of bubble times. Now it's just sitting and waiting to see when selection is picked up. Our women were really good all weekend and even some that struggled at times found a way to help their team. It wasn't always easy, it wasn't always pretty but that's been our season. We thrived in that pressure. Hats off to the staff for working with these ladies and getting them where they need to be to perform and come away with a top-three finish in a year where many people thought that wasn't going to be where we ended up. I'm very proud of those ladies."
Diving Coach Yahya Radman
"Today was a rollercoaster day, probably one of the most up-and-down days of my coaching career," said Radman. "The morning saw the men truly struggle on platform but the evening saw Madeline Kline just chip away at the leader board to eventually land as the top seed in the prelims; and not only to do that but to turn around and do it again in the finals where she just chipped away until she was the last diver standing. It was one of the most exciting and memorable meets of my life considering our humble little school doesn't have a tower where we have to travel. We beat the two institutions that have platforms and specialize in platform, I think this was huge testament to Madeline and how much she has worked, how much she believes and how much her team has supported her. In return she brings this gold back to us and our program; an absolutely exciting day from top-to-bottom."
