The top 24 swimmers in the state qualify for an individual event (at state). Right now he's in the top 24 in the state in the 100-yard backstroke.

In some ways there's no pressure, but we're confident that he can go faster. You'd like to finish in the top eight, but we'll see where that all ends up.

As a swimmer and as a team you'd rather go to where the fastest pool is and if you have something modern, well you'd rather go there.
