(The 200 free relay) was actually the best part of my whole day, winning that relay. Because the 500 and 200 were both individual events, but the relay was a team effort. I was very happy with that. |
About halfway down that second 25, I realized I was ahead of everyone else. I just put my head down and pretty much knew we were going to win it. |
As long as it was close, I was going to bring it home, and I was going to win it. |
I don't need the trophy or ribbon to remind me of my accomplishments or anything. |
I think we have a good chance to win county. We have more experience and team depth this year than we did last year, which gives us more options (to score points). |
It worked out perfect. I was so happy with how it went. I was so proud of my teammates and everyone. Just a great meet. |
It's been a great season for me. My times got consistently faster the whole year. |
It's one thing for someone to walk a dog up there. I walked out there many times myself. It's another thing to have a bunch of young children, whose bodies are still growing and developing, playing soccer, falling down and rolling on the ground, and spending a large amount of time there every week. |
Not many people get to say what I say about my team. When I practice, I'm practicing with some of the best swimmers in the state. They push me, and I push them as well. |
The city took it upon themselves to reclaim the site for reuse. It was never approved by the agencies. |
