I am pleased with how they fought back from a very stressful and distressing day number one. I am really pleased with the courage, tenacity and toughness we had mentally to battle our way back from zero points a third of the way through the meet and still finish 18th. |
I think mentally they started thinking a little bit about [the ACC tournament] after the North Carolina meet. I think that now it's a primary focus. A lot of what we do now is going to be dedicated towards what we want to do two weeks or three weeks from now. |
I think we've swum the type of schedule that will allow us to be tough. We've swum the number one team in the country [for] both genders; we've swum the number three team in the country on both genders. Both teams have competed against five or six teams that are ranked in the top 25. |
It is a very good group so far. And we are still very active in the recruiting trails -- chasing down a few more recruits -- and we are talking to some very outstanding young men at this point in time. |
Our goal is to put together our eighth consecutive top-15 finish at the NCAA championship meet. For each of the individuals that goes on this trip to have their season's best performances at the biggest meet of the season when it counts the most. |
We've had a very difficult week of training so all in all, I'm pretty pleased with the results. Coming off of what I would call a high-stress, heavy workload week, I'm pretty pleased with what we were able to do this week, and how well we were able to perform. |
