    "(Head) coach (Sean) Brady had talked to the kids earlier this week about this being a meet we had gone to in the past that's kind of low-key and gives us a good opportunity to come in with no pressure and compete very well," Southeastern assistant coach Amin Nikfar said. "And that's exactly what they did. Everybody responded and there were personal bests all over the board which was really good."
