"With such a young group, I think we did a good job establishing confidence in ourselves," head coach Tim Verge said. "We've had some really terrific swims in all of our virtual meets. It will be important to stay focused on the success they've had with training and not overthink things too much."
The 2021 PSAC Women's Swimming Championships will be held Friday-Saturday, April 23-24 at the Graham Aquatic Center (YMCA) in York.
"Our group, although young, has been exposed to big meets before and we have a solid group of racers," Verge said. "I think it could be a very good conference meet for us, but we have to stay healthy and be ready to step up when we get over there."
