“Really tough racing tonight and I was impressed with the way the team pressed hard and fought hard,” Auburn head coach Brett Hawke said. “I asked them before the session started to find a way to challenge themselves in a way maybe they hadn’t done before. You could really tell that they were really digging deep tonight.”
Morris was the first to claim an individual title on Saturday, winning the 200 free in 1:34.56, lowing his time by .44 from this morning’s swim. Zach Apple was sixth (1:38.88) in the B Final.
“We tell our guys all the time to swim with intention and that’s what Hugo’s doing,” Hawke said.
