“I think the girls swam well overall at the meet,” UK coach Gary Conelly said.
“It is pretty hard to try and hold a taper after resting for SEC’s but theycompeted well and I am proud of their efforts. We are certainly going to missAnnabel next year because she was the anchor of our freestyle relays.”
