I can't compliment (diving coach) Carolyn Peterson enough with what she's done with our divers. She's really been working with our divers and it showed today.

We've got the best divers in the league. We got a new coach this year (Katie Beth Bryant) who has done a great job of improving our team. All five divers have a chance at conference.

According to a (Milwaukee) Brewers doctor, a specialist in shoulders, it is a rotator cuff (injury). He's been cleared to swim and I was real happy with that.

Mitch wants to be (seeded) in the top six in the 50 (at state). Lately, his turns have been outstanding - he crushes people. He's dominating off the turn and I'm pleased with that.

He really gets himself up for big meets. He just stepped up real big. When he gets put in a pressure situation, he holds up real well.

He's just a real hard worker. As soon as they're done stretching, he's on that board and he's usually the last to leave practice. He just has a love for the sport, which is nice to see.
