According to Ahadzhanian, if the men’s team continues to stay consistent, they will have a shot to win nationals.

“We have one month left,” Ahadzhanian said. “If we do the right thing in the water and outside the water, it’s all going to happen.”

Buys said winning nationals would be a highlight for both her swim career and for others. She said winning it with this team this year would be special.

According to Noble, the women’s side winning the GLVC championship sends a message of what the team needs to expect for the end of the season.

“We’ve got to be really committed to this process over this next month so we can do the things that we really hope to do,” Noble said.

Buys said that although it is the end of her swim career at UIndy, she is excited for nationals.

“It’s the end of my swim career in the U.S.” Buys said. “I have tried to avoid thinking about it because I get emotional when I do. But I’m very excited to do it and I have no regrets staying a fifth year… Especially considering how well we’re seeded this year compared to the other teams. Right now, we’re probably top three but I know when we compete at nationals, we’re all there together and supporting each other we’re gonna want more than a second place or a third place.”
