I'm thrilled to have been nominated and especially to receive this award. Although, I'm very surprised to have been selected for this honor.

I'm thrilled to receive the Honda Award for swimming and diving. It makes me proud to accept this award on behalf of our program. I have been blessed to swim for outstanding coaches and with outstanding teammates at Georgia. It's been a great four years. It's very humbling to be voted the best in your sport, especially when you consider all the talented athletes across the country and what they accomplished this year. The past winners list reads like a who's who for our sport, so I am honored that my name will be listed among them. This award really means a lot to me.

We were thrilled — it was a total shock that we'd been selected as finalists. I have no idea who nominated us, but it's a great honor.

We're deeply honored to have been selected to receive such a prestigious award. It is recognition from the Department of Defense that our Undersea Systems business is working very effectively with small businesses.
