When asked how she thought the girls did in the meets Co-Captain Shannon Vaughan said, “The girls did a good job! I’m very proud of them!” When asked how he thought the boys did Co-Captain Jefferson McClain said, “This is definitely a starting place for our team. It is always nice to come out to the first swim meet and see where everybody is. We realize that this is a good starting place for the boys’ team and now we know where we need to improve. This is going to be a good season for the Devils!” With both teams dominating the scores, the only question left is: where are the student body supporters?
