We have a couple new girls that are going to be very good for us. Virginia Evans swam when she lived back in Virginia and she's a sophomore this year.

Both of those girls have been very committed so far this season.

We don't have as much speed as we have had in the past. But we have a very good base. We're hoping by the end of the season they'll all be right in the mix of things.

We're basically starting over with the boys, but it is a good, hard-working group of guys this season.

I knew any team that could beat Hampton would be good. And I knew that those girls (Gamble and Johnson) were the reason.

I can't tell you enough good things about Athena. There were a couple times when they could have folded and they definitely stuck with it and wouldn't go away.
