HOUND BYTES
Head coach Brent Noble on the team's focus today…
"Honestly our focus was a bit little more clear today than it often is for a dual meet because our House of Champions meet is here (at the Natatorium) in six weeks, so we were pretty intent on cleaning up the way we behaved on the pool deck; we wanted to be ready to be really serious and focused here in six weeks, so today was about getting better with that. We noticed some things last week that we could work on, so we wanted to be better at that today so that we can come and really know how to be in a routine and flow when we come back here in a month and a half."
