What they’re saying
Coach Moran on Ivy’s season: “She’s working hard and starting to catch fire. Her hand speed is coming back and her kick is coming back. She’s had some really good swims so we’re excited.”
Ivy on nearly breaking a pool record held by Elizabeth Beisel: “I’ve looked up to her since I was 11 or 12. It would have been such an accomplishment to have broken her record. I was so close.”
