"We dealt with a lot of adversity this year. I was really happy with the way the team – both the men and the women – dealt with it. (We have a) tremendously young women's team. They were very supportive of the men, and the men were very supportive of them."It never gets old. In this conference, having the opportunity to race against these people is fantastic, and the way our folks handled the season was tremendous."The women's team, consisting of mostly freshmen and sophomores, placed seventh overall with 624 points. They capped off the night with a silver medal in the 1650 free, which marked their best event finish of the week."We're happy with the way those young girls stood up and raced," said Troy. "The experience they got is going to be invaluable. Tonight we swam a 400 freestyle relay that was all freshmen. It's a tremendous group to work with. I think the future's bright.""It's a great starting point for us, being that this is my first season and it's a very young team," said diving coach. "Sam (Smith) stepped it up in the final in two events and was close to the final in all three events, which is huge. Everybody else is right there.
