I was so surprised. I wasn't expecting it. I knew I had been nominated, but I didn't think there was much chance.

I just want to go out there and hit the routines like I know I can hit them. Last year, it was crazy watching all the teams around me, trying to figure out what was going on. This year, I feel like we've seen most of the best teams in the nation, and I get to see them again, and I know what to expect.

I can go all out and go for everything on every event because I don't have to hit for the team. It's definitely a different mindset. I'm excited to get one more shot.

I was really hoping the team could make it.

It's amazing. It gives us a lot of confidence. To be this close to beating the No. 1 team in the country is exciting.

What's important for investors to realize about the Dow is it's not just steel stocks and industrial-related stocks. There are growth stocks. There are financial, entertainment and industrial stocks. So when one sector isn't doing well, another sector may be doing well. And that's exactly what's propelling the Dow.
