I think it would be anyone's goal to try to win them both. I've been working hard all year. I don't want to lose.

When it comes down to it, it's just a time you are trying to beat, no matter whose it is. Hopefully it will stay for a few years.

I hope we can (come back). Our goal as a team was to win the gold. I wanted to do better and we also wanted to do better in the relay.

This means that we are keeping the tradition and it proves that when we come together we can achieve what we want.

My major goal for this year is to have Oakland Catholic win the state again. I think my times are getting a lot better. They're better now than they were at midseason last year. I'm just hoping that as the year goes on, I'll get a little faster.

How to get the best of it all? One must conquer, achieve, get to the top; one must know the end to be convinced that one can win the end - to know there's no dream that mustn't be dared. . . Is this the summit, crowning the day? How cool and quiet! We're not exultant; but delighted, joyful; soberly astonished. . . Have we vanquished an enemy? None but ourselves. Have we gained success? That word means nothing here. Have we won a kingdom? No. . . and yes. We have achieved an ultimate satisfaction. . . fulfilled a destiny. . . To struggle and to understand - never this last without the other; such is the law. . .
