UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The Hokies made their mark during their last dual meet of the season, breaking four pool records at McCoy Navatorium and adding four new top-10 times to the books. The No. 13 Hokie men won 172-121, and the No. 23 women won 155-140. 

HEAD COACH SERGIO LOPEZ MIRO

“I think we swam very well today. Overall, I think the team reacted well, we saw some promising times, and the divers did very well too. We had a hard week of training, and it was a great transition to taper down times for some people in preparation for the VT Invite coming up where we’re going to decide our ACC roster. It’s shaping up to be a great season for the men and the women, and it’s really exciting for the team and all of the coaches.”
