Head coach
Jill Greenleaf:
"The teams closed out the fall semester of dual meet racing successfully today. We were able to test the versatility of many of our athletes in preparation for our fall invitational at RIT after Thanksgiving. The number of lifetime best and season best times swum today was promising, and we are excited to see what we can do with a touch of rest in a couple weeks."Â

NEXT UP: Skidmore will close the fall semester of competition Dec. 1-2 at the Don Richards Invitational at RIT.
