Coach VanWagner also said the team's success has been a credit to the swimmers and their willingness to train and compete day in and day out.
"I'm proud of our kids," VanWagner said. "I think this is the most demanding sport here at Marist and there's not another team that makes a greater commitment than this one. It is their decision to dedicate themselves, and it has been a wonderful transition over the 28 years."
Diving coach Melanie Bolstad said she is also proud to be part of this winning tradition the school has established.
"It's exciting to do so well when you only swim in ten to eleven meets all season long," Bolstad said. "This means that the team has to go .800 every year to get where we have."
The Red Foxes will begin to prepare for the second half of the season as they will have a short hiatus over this next month. The next month will be full of training and preparation for Seton Hall on January 12, 2007.
"We will train for the last two weeks before taking a trip to Coral Springs, Florida," VanWagner said. "Our last four weeks will get us ready for the MAAC conference championships."
