THOUGHTS FROM COACH JAHN
On the outcome at the WAC Shootout: "It was a good first meet to go to. It was a nice clean format so it was pleasant to see just one swimmer at a time because we were always only in one lane. We could focus on just that one person."
On the goals for the year: "Our goal is to place in the top three in conference. Last year we were predicted to finish third and to get second was quite a nice accomplishment. We have gaps that we're going to have to fill and it's going to be a team effort to fill those gaps."
COMING UP NEXT: The UC Davis men's and women's swimming and diving teams will host UC Santa Cruz Saturday, Oct. 24 at noon at Schaal Aquatics Center.
