I wasn't trying to scare them - just provide a reality check.

The divers have been tremendously consistent. I believe for the first time in a long time we're going to have four divers at the State Meet.

Our goal for Candice this fall is to break the state record in the backstroke.

We have a set of circumstances we've never had before. Everyone came back with some off-season experience at camps, clinics and working out hard on their own.

We still need to strengthen ourselves in the sprints. We're pushing hard in those events this week in practice.

We were really concerned about our divers that left with four years' experience under their belts. But the freshman class has been a surprise.

I understand her decision completely and fully back her choice.

We all thought it was funny when Caitlin said her off-season training for softball (at Marist) involves a lot of swimming workouts.

It was a pretty good race until Candice just took off on the last lap.
