Quotable: Assistant Coach Collin Zeffer

"I'm happy with the results today. We had some guys really step up after having struggled the first meet or two. Finishing 10th overall as a team, I think we left some points on the table. If everyone brought their best day, I think we could have been competitive with some really good teams. We have some work to get back to, but I'm thrilled for the potential the guys' exhibit."
