Kali Mull had an outstanding meet winning the 200 freestyle event with 1:57.03, and the 100 freestyle event with 0:53.98. Kali along with Karina Sawatsky, Quincy Taliaferro, and Amanda Yancey won the 200 medley and 400 freestyle relays.

Quincy feels like the team is very supportive, and they have a lot of team unity. Kali, Quincy, and Amanda Yandey all tied for the NWOC Swimmer’s of the Year Award. The girls will compete in the state tournament at the Tualatin Hills Aquatic Center on Friday February 16 at 5:30 pm, and again on Saturday February 17 at 5:30 pm. Good Luck Cougs!
