Head Coach Jake Shrum

We had a much more complete meet today, and a number of sophomores and freshmen were able to take some things that we saw at Navy (last weekend) and improve on them today, which was great to see.
We were in a tight meet after the first break and Parker Schulz and Elise Devlin winning the 100-free and 100-back helped us get a lot of momentum that we were able to carry the rest of the meet. Tina Colemant also continues to be a rock for us in the diving events.

Up Next for Towson

The Tigers host their one and only meet of the truncated 2021 season on February 27 at Burdick Pool.
Towson takes on a third-straight in-state foe, Mount St. Mary's. A start time will be announced this week.
