A lot of younger boys stepped up today. We have quite a few underclassmen who did an outstanding job today. |
He's become one of our leaders. He's kind of grown into that role, but he's always been a big-meet swimmer. |
He's been fighting a little sickness. I expect him to be in the thick of things. |
He's been really valuable to us. He's showed his maturity. Sometimes when you have a freshman come in with that ability, others can be turned off by him. Everybody likes him. |
I think its finally getting to the fun time. It's getting to the point to where we'll find if Mat is up to the challenge. |
It's a credit to her desire and willingness to improve. For any athlete, when they're starting out, it's a little intimidating. Once you break through, things get a lot easier. |
Last year we did about everything but fall asleep in the water. This year we showed up. |
Our focus has been on the state meet. I feel pretty good about going down to state. We'll have time drops there. |
Robin is the ultimate class act. I'm a big fan of Robin Tobias. |
She's kind of come into her own. She's gained so much experience and that has helped with her confidence. |
The competition there is significantly faster. He really has turned some heads. |
This was a great meet for us pretty much up and down (the roster). |
We just wanted to set things up for Saturday. That way we just concentrate on the races. |
We really swam well today. Normally at this time of the year we have quite a few boys who are sick with the flu, but we are very healthy this year, and it showed in their performances today. |
We set ourselves up really nice. All of our swims were monstrous. These guys didn't let anything get to them. We gave ourselves some good opportunities. |
