From Coach Moemen Ibrahim '26

"The crew has put in a tremendous amount of work this season preparing for this moment, and I'm proud of the effort they put into their performance," said Coach Ibrahim. "Competing at an event with over 12,000 athletes from around the world, including Olympic medalists, is an incredible opportunity for our program. This experience gives us a lot to build on as we continue developing and pushing ourselves to compete at a higher level."
