QUOTABLES
Mizzou Head Coach Andrew Grevers
"For the women to come out of a very intense week of training and our men just coming off the SEC Championships, we had a lot of very fatigued athletes out there stepping up and swimming lifetime bests. I'm extremely happy with the effort from our swimmers and the energy from our athletes here cheering them on. It was an awesome day and was a great way for some of our Tigers to end their seasons and some other Tigers possibly extending theirs."
