It just affected us. All week in practices, we just busted our butts and worked on picking up our intensity.

We try to play as many shows as we can; if we could, we'd play more. Even when we aren't touring, every weekend, we are traveling as far as we can get. So far, we've played shows in Arizona, Nevada and Hollywood.

We just had to step it back up, and play with more determination.

It just made all the effort worth it.

Coach told us they were probably going to come out a little tentative and then get up in us, so we had to get after them right away.

I do not feel disappointed at all. I won both the 100 and 200 at the US trials and the worlds. It was a great season for me.
