Coaches Corner:

"I'm super proud of Efe," said Head Coach Tony Marleneanu. "Not only for his performance at NCAAs, but throughout the season. Taking into consideration that he is a freshman, his season was amazing. I am happy that all the hard work that he put into this season paid off big time in the 500 Free."
