He got sick right before districts (Feb. 11), and he did a nice job of being able to drop in the 500. His IM was not his lifetime best, which was disappointing to him because he feels he's an all-around swimmer. |
Our seniors have shown the younger swimmers what it takes to be successful. The seniors have allowed us to establish a tradition. |
Patrick didn't let the bronchitis he is coming off of slow him down. He's a very tough competitor and he made sure we scored the points we needed to win the meet. |
That was a big bonus. |
That's the ultimate goal of the team. They're going to have to be prepared both mentally and physically. |
We were disappointed we didn't place higher, but you can't control how other people swim. It's surprising when you qualify in 10 of the 11 events and not to place higher. |
We're looking forward to . . . a great state meet. It's not enough to get there, we want to score some points. |
We're looking to continue building our youth program and to have swim camps that draw different coaches to teach specialty strokes. |
We've very excited to host our district meet. Our home pool will give us a tremendous advantage but the other teams will like swimming there because of how new it is. It's well-lit and deep and has a lot of other benefits of a newer pool. |
