Elsha, ILL-- Friday night, our women's team competed against Hendrix College, who traveled all the way from Arkansas for a weekend of swimming and diving. Although our women lost 62-120, it was evident our swimmers demonstrated the skills we had been working on throughout the week leading to Friday's meet. We had sharp turns and strong kicks off the walls. It was a fun night, full of fast races and swimmers trying new events.
