Emily told me after the race that this was the best experience of her life. But that's because of what her performance meant to the team. Everybody made a contribution tonight and either swam their season-best or career-best times. |
I don't think we had as much firepower this year. And we had to fight back the whole time, which is tough. |
You can't have anything better than our best swimmer against their best swimmer. And that's what it came down to with everything on the line. It was more of a team effort, but in the end it was one versus one. |
