“There were a lot of girls a bit upset with some of their times, but we really weren’t too far off the mark in all races, and actually put up a fair amount of best times throughout the night as well,” Mann said.
Boone now has an overall record – 23-2 and a dual meet record of 5-0.
The Toreadors next meet is the Johnston Invite, Saturday, October 10, with diving at 9 a.m. and swimming at 1 p.m.
