Albion finished the meet with a first place finish in the200 freestyle relay (Allison Dasky, Ulieme, Moore and Erickson).
"The Britons showed how hard work pays off," Albion Head Coach Nick Stone said. "Swimming tired from the previous three weeks of training, a lot of the women are swimming close to if not beating previous in-season times; which I find impressive because of the tough adjustment to a new coach and training style. However, the most impressive part of the meet was how tough these women swam. A lot of tough races, and there was no sign of giving up. It speaks to the team's motivation and heart each team member has. We are set up for a great season, and I am excited to see how we do as the season progresses."
