Way to go, guys!
Thanks to coaches Brynn Adams and Summer Edge for all their hard work! With having the team members so separated from the pool, it was such a blessing to have Brynn and Summer keeping track of the races and where everyone needed to be. Thanks to our families for all their help, support, and cheering from afar!
