Coach Hering's Perspective
"We are grateful for the opportunity to race GCU on a beautiful day at the Brophy pool! The women's team swam well with many personal best times.  Flores set a new ACU team record in the 200 free 1:58.80.  The women's 200 free and 200 medley relays moved up to 12th nationally.  Garraux ranks sixth nationally in 100 fly 56.99 and Flores ranks ninth in 200 fly 2:10.47.  Coach Rob and I are very proud of all our ladies and know more each competition what we need to hone-in on.  We look forward to training at NAU high altitude and swimming against Simpson University during our "heavily body week"! Swimming for Him!"

"One of the highlights of the day was a message I got from Kataryna Kashyrina's parents in the Ukraine saying they are praying for all of us- "I wish you and your team victory in the competition.  I pray for you."   Coach Hering added, "How humbled and honored we are to receive a prayer from a family is battling with war!!  So blessed."

A return to the competitive water will come in Irvine, CA, on January 14.
