QUOTABLE-
"It's always great when teams are evenly matched, the racing is exciting and it makes the relays loud and intense. That was certainly the case today. I thought our focus and intensity were much better than a week ago. Wyoming is a very good squad, and this meet could have easily gone the other way, but our Rebels has good finishes. I want to thank the staff and admin and parents who all showed up today, we had a good crowd."
- HEAD COACH BEN LOORZ
NEXT FOR THE REBELS:Â The Rebels will have next week off from competition, but will return to action against Grand Canyon on February 1 (11:00am) at Jim Reitz Pool.
