As long as the relays swim well, you have to feel we have a chance to swim as high as the top two at state. |
I was a little disturbed reading that it was a done deal. The last time I checked, the School Committee sets policy, which is what I think will ultimately happen regarding sports banquets. |
If we could get an upset in the 400-yard freestyle relay, we could have a shot. |
In the district meet, you have to have good depth. We've had good depth the last few years. The key for us this weekend was we knew where we were seeded and we knew what we had to do. You don't beat teams like Plano West and Flower Mound without having a strong roster from top to bottom. |
It's quite possible one of the things we don't know is whether persons in these groups have the same access to safer foods. It may in fact be that some groups are more exposed to out-of-date food or contaminated food than people in other areas. |
Most of the questions were about the stage of development we are in. |
Our banners were torn to shreds. I felt it was important to remember tradition. I wanted us to be reminded of the program's past on a daily basis. |
Our depth has been the key. We feel like we have three swimmers in the top eight in several events. You can score a lot of points that way. |
That bumps the double points in the relays up more. You can score 18 points in a relay to what used to be 14. |
The way I see it is it's a brand new day. You never know what could happen. |
The winner of the meet may do so based on what happens Friday in the preliminaries. It's about getting to the finals and to the inside lanes. |
They want to be the next team at Plano people talk about. They want to be the team to continue the winning tradition. These are things that drive these kids. |
Unless we swim really fast, it may not turn out too good. We're swimming in one of the fastest regions in the state and we're hoping to hang in there in the top two. If we come in with our game faces on and shaved down, we could have a chance to swing the meet. We've got a shot. |
We are all complex and we all have a combination of expectations. On one hand, we want the federal government to make the food supply as safe as possible, but sometimes we're quite happy to accept unsafe food because it's fresher, because it tastes better or because it's part of our ethnic identity. We want to obtain the freedom and autonomy to choose bundles of goods, positives and negatives. |
We get sick, by and large we know we get sick -- but we don't know if it's food-borne illness. We can see that Americans tend not to attribute as many of our illnesses to food as we should. |
