Anytime you're a national champion, it's incredible. I couldn't be more proud of Helen. She's been one of the best captains I've ever seen. She won because she deserved to win.

That was a great race (200 backstroke) for Helen, and Ashley had a great meet for us. Those two are a huge reason why we're in the position that we're in. Their leadership and how they act and their drive have really helped up us.

They're two of the best captains I have ever seen. They have done a good job of leading by example-but not only leading by example, but by being vocal too. They have been the most responsible for the place where we are at.

She still talks to Nick almost every other day and that she absolutely considers him still one of her best friends.

There is one thing that you'll never take from Eddie Guerrero. Eddie will always be a champion.

To me, a national champion is the team that plays the best. We're not beating teams by two or three points. We've pretty much named our score most of the year.
