"The divers were incredible for this time in the season. Today was a very good warm up for our men's and women's teams. Next week we are going to compete against Ohio State, Penn State, and Indiana so it's going to be very interesting. It has been a pretty good period of training and we still have a couple more weeks before the invitational, so we are going to keep going hard. We won on the guys side but lost the on the girls, but I think what is most important is to understand is what we've done and where we are with training.
