"It was an incredible week for our team in Knoxville," Crimson Tide head coach Margo Geer said. "I am proud of the way we battled for every point and every place, and how we handled adversity. To have our best finish as a men's team since 1987 and the best of the women's team since 1994 is an incredible accomplishment and one we're going to build on going forward.

"We finished the week with 23 podium finishes, including 11 gold medals, but in a team race that tight, it came down to a total team effort, and I'm proud of the way this team supported each other and kept the focus on the team goals. This was a special week for us and now it's time to get back to work as we prepare for the NCAA Championships."
