It shows you the character of this team.

We were looking first to win (the state meet). We knew Orem would be good, and that Springville would be in there. And then we also wanted to do well against 5A schools. And so I scheduled every 5A school that I could get.

We're young. We only had one senior who made it to state. The rest are juniors and sophomores. We'll be back.

We didn't win because we had one kid that was a superstar. We won because we had a lot of good swimmers. That's how you do it in this sport.

It's good to get these guys over the hump. We didn't win an event, and we won the meet. That's what they've been about all year. They're a great team, and that's why we won. From top to bottom, we had lots of guys that scored points.

Again, it's poise and character. We made some plays. When we stopped doing that, that's how Clemson got in the game. When we got back to doing that, it permeates throughout.
