Hedrick felt that the momentum gained from the victories is important.”Swimming this well right now will continue to give us another week good of training before we go into [semester] finals. Then we can look forward to our training trip after Christmas,” Hedrick said. “It’s always nice to end a segment of the season on a real positive note.”Iowa State will travel to Florida in late December for eight to nine days of intense training.
