With this team, they want to have their best time, but they want the state points for Cape Central. We want to race the fastest guys there and get as close to them as we can. We think our relays can race right there with them.

It's really fun to see something like that happen to a person who's dedicated, committed and [who's] put the work in.

We've swam every school we need to except Blue Springs, so we know going up there we're not the fastest team, but there shouldn't be anyone there that should surprise us.

I was bored. I didn't like the time constraints, and the assignments seemed tedious and redundant.

I felt that I am not yet ready and that I would not post a good time. It is frustrating to not be able to run. Because I knew after my performance in Athens that I could have pushed the world record in this season even further.

They were really kicking it. We are going to be very, very good for a long time.
