"This was a very good meet from start to finish for our team, especially on the road," Wabash head coach Will Bernhardt said. "It's always difficult to have a lot of pop and power in our strokes in road dual meets. I was very pleased with how the guys responded to coming off a hard winter break training trip with their performances at Illinois Wesleyan. We're really in a good spot right now to approach the last dual meet of the regular season in two weeks and the conference championship meet in February. I was especially proud of Hunter Jones breaking the pool record. It's always fun to go to other teams' polls and get your name on their record board. It was a bit of a home crowd for him having grown up just down the road in Champaign, Illinois. He a lot of his family in the stands supporting him."
 
Wabash will compete at the University of Illinois-Chicago against both the Flames and the University of Chicago teams on Saturday, January 25.
