"We didn't have quite the weekend we were hoping for, but there were still some positives to take away," said Head Swimming and Diving Coach Johnathan Jordan. "We've been putting in a lot of hard work, and I think we're at the point in the season where that can start to take its toll. We know we're capable of swimming faster, and I'm looking forward to seeing what this group can do with a little rest heading into our midseason meet."

Millikin is back in the water on December 4 for day one at the Wheaton College Invite.
