PERSONAL
- Mary Cayten on Why Tennessee: "After seeing the energy and kindness of the team and coaches, as well as their incredible attention to detail and ruthless pursuit of excellence, I knew UT was the only place I wanted to spend the next four years."
- Matt Kredich says, "We're really excited about Mary Cayten. She's a relative newcomer to the sport as a year round pursuit, and she is improving rapidly. Her background in other sports has helped her develop into a fantastic athlete, and that athleticism should allow her to step into this program and progress to the point where she is competitive for points in conference and eventually at NCAA level. There is no question though that she'll have an immediate impact on our team through her character and personality. She's got great energy and enthusiasm for swimming and for Tennessee."
