"The Conspiracy was on hand to support their peers, we had a lot of parents in attendance, and we had a tropical theme going just to make it fun for our students. The seniors didn't disappoint, earning 5 individual event wins and a school record between them. Competitively, this senior group has had quite an impact on the program, but while the competitive accolades are nice, the real payoff has been their growth and development as people. They aren't done yet. We never are. But the opportunities they have had as student-athletes here at AU have helped them grow in knowledge and wisdom and character and, I think, set them up well for their future endeavors."

"[Saturday] was a little extra challenging, but the team handled themselves well and did some good swimming and diving for where we are in the season. Shout out to our 200 butterflyers Emily Bantsolas and Avery Wright and our 400 IM'ers Madyson Stanley and Noah Singleton. Those are grueling events on any day but the more so after competing [Friday] and the long drive [Saturday]. Diver Lindsey Pickering, who had a season best [Friday night] at home, also threw her first 3-meter dives in competition [Saturday] which was really fun to watch.
