Both teams had good meets. The girls had some great times. They really worked for it.

Annie has been really moving up in the Morse Top-10 times of all-time. Right now she's fifth all-time in the 100 breaststroke, eighth in the 200 IM and sixth in the 200 freestyle.

But I think the big key for us was that we got scoring from the middle people, sixth through eight, and a lot of points from the 10 through 16 swimmers.

If everybody could move up one place, Morse would be a good shape. The key would be to beat Waterville and Lewiston swimmers.

We knew there would be cuts but we didn't know what they would be. Everything came out in the open (Tuesday) night.

We were all reasonably healthy. We took 12 guys to the meet and 12 scored. We didn't have any team or state records, but we had a ton of personal bests.

This team is 30 years in the making.

Our kids had great times. Some of the times were really out there.

We even had Tom MacDonald (former Morse coach) come speak to the kids during the week and they really responded. It was really a team effort.
