American Fork Coach Kathy King said, "We had a lot depth among our upper tier swimmers on the girls' team. They showed the potential of how well they could do at region later on this season. They're going to improve on getting their techniques down. We brought 15 boys for this meet, and a lot of them finished in the top five in many of the meet's 22 events. That's quite an accomplishment."
