"It's a big step forward for our program to finish a championship weekend with several individual champions, new school records, and so many new PRs among our squad, commented head coach Michelle Eisenreich.

"The key to winning championships is not just having good individual athletes but a team of great competitors. We are excited we have a young crew full of talent, but we are also losing a class of incredible seniors. We know that the young competitors on our team are capable of rising to the occasion to get closer and closer to closing the gap with Harvard. We are excited to bring a squad of women to Jacksonville for NCAA Regionals and prove that not only can we compete among the Ivy League, but the entire nation."
