That's always a goal, but this time I think it's a possibility. What we did (Tuesday) shows we can operate like a team.
We definitely do have a younger team, so I think we'll have an opportunity to put together some better relays in the future.
Bobby cut some time in the fly and got a good second-place finish there. He added time in the 50, but he won a big race for us. Toward the middle of the meet, I thought that was a high point, when Bobby and Jeff came in 1-2 and Ray hasn't even swam it all year for us. He really stepped up. And so did Jake. He'd never swam it either.
Some of the kids are doing this year what somebody like Ian (Tracy) was doing last year. He's on the 'A' relay now and he was barely on a relay last year.
We were scrambling to fill all our events, but still didn't make it. Missing those guys hurt us a little bit. Losing one actually made both of our relays weaker.
He's put in a lot of work and he's consistent. In the mile, he splits were almost perfectly even. He still needs to figure out when he can kick and maintain it. But it's still early in the season.
Even the guys that didn't score, a lot of them improved their marks. Like our jumpers, most of those guys haven't even jumped in a varsity meet before.
