ON THE RECORD
"It was a great event today against BIG EAST foe Villanova. I was really impressed with our teams energy and focus this week leading up to the meet and the results showed. We had countless season best performances, a few pool records and even a program record. It was a great step forward for the team as a whole and I'm looking forward to building off of this success. After the meet, we had an awesome team event, where we celebrated Georgetown's 2025 BIG EAST championship team. It was nice to see last year's team, parents and alumni together to celebrate. This weekend showed what a special community we have around our program." - Head Coach John Carroll on today's meet.
