Drury is our main rival every year at nationals, so obviously it's really exciting to get this one out ahead of time and see where everyone is at this point in the season.

I think it's opened our minds to a lot of new ways to train, and I think it's really showing that we are in great shape, probably better shape than we have been in at this point in the season ever. It's still a lot of hard work, but I think we are all starting to kind of begin to believe in his style of coaching.

It was really exciting. It's kind of bittersweet in a way because I love swimming, but it's a really happy occasion too. But at the same time we just know that we have so many more things to accomplish than that dual meet.

This isn't a new phenomenon, it's a pretty consistent phenomenon.

I think the results in general are fascinating. Though some of this has been around for a while.

We were brought up to do what's best for the players and what's best for the school. And we both worked for it.
