Tecumseh is beatable. We just have to come out and wrestle well. We've never had a state-qualifying team before, and this is the best chance we have.

We wrestled only five times against Grosse Ile. Grosse Pointe South had only six wrestlers.

If you wrestle a tough team tough it makes you a better wrestler. I think we did that.

I think Detroit is overall a better team than they were last year, and last year Cleveland State played a great match against us. They brought a lot of energy and really stepped up to play us. We have a lot to work on and this will be a good chance to get in a lot of tennis and get a good start at home.

Now that the medley has qualified we have three relays qualified for the state. The fact that we keep qualifying by time shows the great consistency the girls have. It speaks about the girls' effort and their work ethic.

She's two-hundredths of a second from scoring qualifying times for state. When it warms up, she'll run even better.
