Eppler, a transfer from Exeter, was fourth in the 100 free (52.94) and helped the Miners finish second in the 200 free relay (1:41.05) and third in the 200 medley relay (1:53.42).

The word: "She's got the body for a swimmer, but it's her attitude and determination. It was probably every other practice where she was challenging one of the guys to a swim. That's what makes her successful." -- El Diamante girls coach Jon Conrad
