DALRYMPLE PERSPECTIVE

• This was an absolutely amazing mid-season meet for our team! We walked away with 23 new national qualifying swims, eight new members of our national team and two new school records. The Calvin Invitational is an amazing meet where our team competed with very high-level NCAA teams, and the girls rose to the challenge and used this opportunity to get better and position ourselves for the second half of the season.

NEXT TIME OUT

• The Wildcats travel to the Centre Colonel Classic on January 10-11th, 2020.
• The meet will be held inside Boles Natatorium in Danville, Kentucky on the campus of Centre College.
