QUOTES FROM THE JASPERS

Head Coach Brian Hansbury: “Always an amazing time swimming at Fordham. Ending the midterms week with a quick ride with our Bronx neighbor is great. Tom’s (Wilkens) team is a strong team. Both our teams swam well tonight with a focus on individual times. I always look forward to this meet, not because of the rivalry between our programs or the distance between one another, but for the energy and excitement that both teams bring to the pool.”
