Bresser said the team showed its depth in the victory. Our freshman class was very impressive, and it really was a entire team effort, from freshmen to seniors, to pull off the win. Swimmer Abby Fogel was one of the young swimmers who stepped up with a second place in the 400-yard individual medley. Gotschall, Bresser, Madonia and van Selm again gained victories for the Bobcats on the meet's second day. Swimmer Rachel White said watching the underclassmen step up excited the veterans and helped everyone perform better.
Any points are good and it was definitely a total team effort.
Miami swimmer Amy Miranda edged van Selm to win the first event of the meet's final day, the 1,650 freestyle, to show that the RedHawks were not going to go away. Bresser, however, rallied her team in the next event. A victory in the 200 backstroke was her 20th career MAC event championship. Teammate Madonia would win the 200 butterfly before Ohio sealed its second straight championship by taking the 400 free relay. Miami made up only 11 points in its run at the leader.
