Once you start having a few little things happen, I think I said (to them) we just need to make sure we put the best routines together so we can get out.

They're an awesome team. Right now, they're unstoppable. They have the depth, that's what they have over everybody else.

It's not a growing plume. It's that, as we were able to install more monitoring wells, we were better able to delineate the plume. We feel confident that we've reached the edge of the plume.

Since August we have been able to install additional monitoring wells and feel we now have reached the delineation of the plume. You can never be 100 percent certain, but this is the best knowledge we have to date based on sampling results.

We're ready to start talking about next year's goals. We'd like to become one of those regular teams that are at state, year in and year out.

Once we got (to state), we wanted to qualify for Saturday's finals. Then, we made the most of it and made the jump to eighth place (after Saturday's final two rounds). I'm proud of each and every one of them.
