Head coach Matthew Jabs and the coaching unit, families and fans got an official first look at the East Carolina University swim team as it held its annual Purple Gold intrasquad meet beginning this past Friday.
While this was the first meet of the year, this was also the first meet since the internal investigation for the program that cost them almost three weeks of practice, as well as the first official meet for Jabs. The excitement of the team was felt throughout the whole Natatorium, the indoor swimming arena for the Pirates, as teammates cheered each other on as they competed against one another on separate purple and gold teams.
