“These kids are really swimming so well,” Jayhawks coach Todd Conklin said. “I feel like, yes, (Wednesday) was a fantastic day, but today was just as great. Every single kid swam their best times. They continue to swim at high levels and to break both relay records and Karianne breaking the another record, goes to show what the kids have done and the effort they have put in the these last few months.”
