Mustangs Defend Team Title at 2004 Kerr McGee!

The Mustangs defended their team title at this season’s Kerr McGee Elite Pro-Am, which was held in Oklahoma City on the weekend before Christmas.  This is always a quality meet and attracts swimmers from all over the country because it is one of the few meets that offers prize money.  Those athletes who are finished with their NCAA eligibility can earn money by finishing in the top three.  Those athletes who want to remain amateurs can earn credits, which can be collected for merchandise at the D & J Sports booth set up at the meet.   The Mustang scoring onslaught was led by Codie Hansen, who won the 200 back. Additionally, every Mustang relay scored in the top sixteen.
