Everyone did best times. And whether it's for first or third or for 15th place, all we can control is how fast our kids swim. All our kids swam great.

When I was swimming, I think the most we had was eight guys and I've been a coach with just seven guys, and they were some of the best swimmers in the state, but it wasn't enough, numbers-wise. Now we have 26 boys and that's the most we've had in a long time and maybe ever.

You have to give a lot of credit to the Y program we have and all the volunteers and coaches and swimmers. We tied for second six or seven years ago and that was a bit of a spark, but the real key is getting numbers out and keep them out.

It wasn't flashy. It was solid and that's what we were looking for.

This is two meets in a row when they swam against us where they've had the two best meets I've ever seen out of them.

That was the way we want to see it end. It couldn't be any better than that with three teams going after it.
