“Every race, event and point counted on Tuesday. It came down to the very end, the last relay. We were up by five at the 500, down by one at the 200 free relay, down by one at the 100 back, down by one at the 100 breast and pulled ahead by one after the last relay. Crazy meet — crazy close,” Masuk Coach Emily DeMace said.

“We are off to a great start to the season. The coaching staff is very happy with their results thus far. We have so many that have already qualified for SWCs and States in both swimming and diving. And we’re hoping for even more to come,” DeMace said.
