With those last two meets out of the way all we have left is the College Club Swimming National Championships at Ohio State at the end of the month! Additionally, thanks to your generosity and additional funding from our UREC department, we have been completely funded for Nationals. We hope to use the remaining funding for equipment to improve our ability to train hard next season. For our upcoming trip, we have used funds to purchase the hotels and rental cars from our spending plan. Be on the lookout for our next update with details on how you can watch our team compete against the entire country!
