Coach Mike Keeler said many of the best times of the season were set at the meet. Diver Shannon Pace won both of her events, which helped make the win for the Toreros. Sophomore Melissa Willard also won both the 100 and 200 backstroke events. Coach Keeler said the team had a much better meet on Saturday. He said the team is back to hard work and training for their next meet against Fresno State on Jan 9.
Training is exactly what the swimming team does five days a week.
The Toreros are certainly a dedicated team and train intensively, striving to improve their times. The team works out twice a day on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with morning and afternoon practices. Freshman Jaime Lobdell, a freestyle swimmer, said that she found the group support of the team and having fun training to be the most rewarding aspects of swimming for the Toreros. Aside from their success thus far in the season, the Toreros certainly have a strong sense of unity and support for one another. This web site is updated weekly with the lastest issue.
