He was very lethargic. He wasn't moving around too much. When I swam up to him he didn't try to grab me. He didn't try to hold onto me. Normally, people in the water, that's what they do, so I knew he was in bad condition.

Rob Rooney

How we swam in the prelims on Friday set us up pretty well for Saturday. It certainly made it easier.

My fondest memories aren't necessarily the swimming part, they are the friendships with the team, the bus rides, the pasta dinners. Since my freshman year, the girls I swam with have been my best friends. They have been there to motivate me.

Caitlin Seed

The 50 is such a hard race. If you mess up on the start or the turn, you don't have any chance. I had a good start and turn today, and just swam as hard as I could the last 25.

Victoria Bonifield

It was pretty much a rout. It just felt good because of the way they swam. It was one of their goals. We made some state cuts and had two relay meet records. They were really happy with that.

Scott Teeters

We swam very well. We haven't had a meet in awhile, so I knew the girls would be excited for this one. There was only one event that I wasn't happy with. Overall, we swam well.

Jeanne Fleck

I don't think we can be disappointed at all. The boys swam faster this year than they did last year.

Kevin Mcglashen

Eric swam really well and is looking forward to swimming much better at states.

Cheryl Ciorra

We just swam unbelievably overall. All the boys were very pleased with themselves, as they should be. I couldn't be happier.

Paul Power

Two years ago, he swam the 50-meter butterfly in 37 seconds. That's quick, but a high school athlete that is in the shape that he is in can do it faster. And they'd always make fun of him.

Jack Maguire

The team did very well. (Amanda) swam very well and achieved her goals.

Julie Fleet

We swam OK tonight. You could tell that we were still a little tired.

Tim Powers

The IM was first time he's swam that event this year.

Sean Whalen

The kids swam extremely well. So much of swimming is mental now. If you're not physically ready, you're not going to be there. They had to change their approach and they did. You're swimming against the clock and trying to swim your personal best. That's all you can do.

Ray Davidson

When I first started I only swam during the high school season, so I didn't get much out of it, ... Then last year I really got serious and buckled down. I started swimming year-round and just bloomed, I guess.

Carl Miller

Honestly, we looked tired and tight in our races. [Drury] looked as fresh as they have - as fresh as I've seen them. ... We swam pretty much the same as we have all year long, it's just that they had that one person in every event to shut us down. I realized about halfway it was impossible to overcome it. It ended up being a long day on the pool deck.

Mark Gole

Both on the guys and girls side, tomorrow is where it counts. Those swimmers got to go a little bit easier today. The ones where we needed to have them go and swim fast, those kids swam fast.

Jason Hafner

The first relay really set the pace for the whole night. Lacey swam awesome, and Anna Turner really stepped it up as a freshman. I am so proud of my whole team.

Whitney Myers

I think they swam very well across the board. No one had a bad swim and there was a lot of quality races.

Peter Linn

Everyone swam incredibly well from start to finish. I'm very proud of my guys. They earned it.

Lee Mogavero

Mark said he was going to swim to it. I didn't say, 'no,' I didn't say, 'I'm with you.' I can't swim too well. At that point, I did the back float, he swam, and the next thing you know the helicopters came and got us.

John Eberle

Once we won the first relay that just set the tone for the night. The girls swam really good tonight.

Stan Crump

I killed them Monday in practice and they swam their best times of the season (Tuesday). That's a huge feat. We haven't come anywhere near that.

Jon Stinson

I told them (the girls) at the beginning of the season that we had the potential to win the championship. I'm happy for the girls, they worked hard for this and swam their hearts out.

T. R. Robinson

This was a top predator that probably was 13 feet long and swam around using its jagged teeth to bite and cut its prey, like dinosaurs and other predatory reptiles did.

Diego Pol

I guess it came naturally. We both swam the same events. Our passion from swimming comes from our mom (Ann).

Katie Cutrell

Confidence is really high right now with everybody. Because everybody swam so well at sectionals, they're just ready to do better at state.

I am completely thrilled with how my girls swam. We had 12 personal bests, and that's a great thing especially since we just started the (most-grueling) part of our season.

Rebecca Middleton

Overall, the girls swam a good meet. We have some very positive things happening early in the season.

Marybeth O'brien

He swam a great meet. Over the last two weeks, he's dropped 50 seconds from his 500. He's looking real good and real strong. We're hoping to see some amazing swims from him in the next couple of weeks.

Dave Olsen

That's the best I've ever swam. This is by far the closest, best race I've had. I like it close. I think shaving all my hair off and just the fast competition added to the great race.

Nick Ward

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.

Josh Floetke

That was the first time she's swam it this year and it's the fastest on your team this year.

Sean Whalen

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.

Tony Demuro

I was really happy with how our kids swam. They were mentally prepared for today's meet. We knew it would come down to our depth in the girls' meet.

My kids did phenomenally well today. They turned in personal bests in just about everything they swam.

Wendy Savino

It took me 10 years before I would say in a conversation that I actually swam in the Olympics, ... I would have never done that earlier.

Brandon Hill

We had some great swims. This a point in the year when times aren't going to count for much. Given that, I was very pleased with the way we swam.

Jon Wilson

We swam with a lot of heart tonight. Hopefully, we can take some of this momentum we've built up into Friday's events.

Lea Maurer

The kids from St. Charles swam really, really well. They did a great job. You can't say (enough) about what they did. It looked like to me that they wanted to do really, really well and they did.

Kevin Chapman

I followed behind her as she swam to search for the patient. I directed Vivienne to a rocky area to which she swam and secured the patient.

Brandon Wilson

He swam under six minutes for the first time even.

Sean Whalen

We swam some very smart races Thursday and overall I'm pleased with the whole team effort.

Chere' Moore

I think we swam real well. It's the best competition we've faced since the South Pacific Mini-Games in Palau. There are really good teams from Japan and Hong Kong. They brought real strong swimmers, and we suited up real well. I'm really pleased.

Michael Stewart

I couldn't be prouder. They swam as fast as they could and although our score may not reflect how well my girls did, Cherry Hill is a great team.

Jaime Ruszala

At the start, I had three or four people swim right over me, and I swam over a couple of people. It was just nuts. You got to love it. I don't know if I'll ever do as well, but I certainly hope to try.

Terry Egan

We swam great. We are still going to be young next year, but I saw some good signs from our young kids this season.

Dennis Davis

It's the first time we've ever beaten them since I can remember. It was nice and it's a great win for us. The kids will remember it for a long time. They (Canton) were 11-0 in dual meets last year. They swam a good lineup, but I think they were a little shocked.

Randy Ferguson

Both of the girls did a very nice job and swam really well. Nobody figured we'd score any points, but here we are coming away with an NCAA All-American!

Stan Crump

There were a couple of surprises we knew would be close. I think the team swam consistently pretty well throughout the day. It was exciting seeing some of those people just coming up getting out.

Mike Holtzapfel

It was good. We had practiced the 200 all week long. She was able to keep her third split even 10 times in a row and she just swam well.

Mark Noldy

Everyone who swam yesterday, whether they finished first or fifth, contributed to our win.

Brian Koizim

We just wanted to give it everything we had. It's an emotional up and down. We swam so well. Arizona just pulled one off.

Kara Lynn Joyce

The boys just swam out of their minds the last two days. They sort of feed off each other.

Pete Moyer

They swam really well against a 5A team. We're in a good place for this time of season.

Laura Graf

Christin Campbell is another person to watch. This summer, she swam very, very well. Last year in the regional meet she swam the 200 and 500, and in the 200, in the first 100 she was right at a minute, and some people in the regional meet don't do that in the 100, so I think she's going to do really well.

Tracy Campbell

Lauren swam well in each of the preliminaries, ... Her morning starts were the best all year. She usually started slower earlier in the day.

Pablo Morales

We swam well, and we're kind of where we wanted to be.

Danny Miller

I'd like to say that everyone swam really well. We had a great meet. We had one slip-up, but we really responded well. I've seen teams crumble after they make a mistake in the first relay, but we didn't.

Whitney Hite

My last meet, the championships this year, finishing and being happy about how I swam was the highlight of my career.

Sarah Reddick

I didn't anticipate that at all. But our guys swam pretty well. We've had some impressive times during the season. But all of a sudden, they dropped a lot of time today.

Ted Rychlik

I swam for four hours in 50-degree temperatures, and my body temperature went from 97.6, a little bit lower than normal, to a 100.2.

Lynne Cox

Next thing I know, the both windows are getting smashed in, they're urging me to 'Swim out, swim out,' and I swam out and swam to the shore, gasping.

Henry Stern

She rode that wave and swam a great race but it cost her energy.

Stephan Widmer

She worked every day. She swam in the backyard pool with her daughters. She had just put the pool in.

Charles Walker

I don't think I swam up to my potential. It would have been nice to have another gold.

Ray Toomey

They swam extremely well in all our relays. I'm extremely pleased with the relays.

Brennan Cleveland

We have a couple new girls that are going to be very good for us. Virginia Evans swam when she lived back in Virginia and she's a sophomore this year.

Charlie Bowman

We had some strong swims today. They knew it would be a tough day and they stepped up and swam well.

Larry Baeder

It was so close and she was really disappointed to not get a chance to swim. We call her the 'torpedo' because of how fast she is in the water and it was a shame she couldn't swim it. I think she would have made the finals. She also swam the 100 butterfly and just missed qualifying for finals. She is just a freshman so we look for good things in the future.

Dana Fossmo

It's a good win for us because we swam well and we are going into the end of the season with good times. We are not struggling, hoping that we get it at the end. We have struggled all year up until now. We really haven't hit the times we've been hoping to beat. There were a lot of kids with career bests tonight.

Scott Teeters

Tim has swam fast all season, and he has the potential to swim even faster at state.

Becky Tighe

They both hit the water at the same time, dove and swam around the boat a couple laps. They set off to the east-southeast together.

Andy Newman

Everyone swam stupendous. Even our guys who took sixth place dropped time. That's what happens in an East-West meet.

Matt Mcelroy

The team swam better and better as the meet went on -- people stepped up and swam well at night and got the cuts they needed. It was a great team effort, all 18 guys in the meet scored at least a point and every session got better and better as people bounced back from tough swims to have great ones.

Tyler Harris

I swam (at state) all four years, but I only won once. It's best to go out on top. That's the way I wanted it to be.

Cody Stinnett

It felt really good. I was kind of hurting the last 100, but my splits stayed even the whole entire way. I was definitely happy with the way I split it and the way I swam it. And I was also happy with my time. It was my best time.

Katie Hoff

They all stepped it up. It was a team goal to win every event, but the other swimmers did very well, too. The girls swam hard to get second and third place finishes, and those points are just as important.

Jessica Laws

Everyone at the meet swam one or more best times. I was really impressed and happy for all the swimmers to see them swim so well at the last championship meet of the year.

Brian Holm

We haven't really heard any concrete information about it yet. We like going down to Madison, when you think of the state meet you think about Madison. I swam there for my state meet and it's always been such a big deal to go to Madison.

Carrie Bores

They swam their hearts out and then found out they were disqualified, so that was tough.

Julie Willis

Anne had a great start in the 500 free and she swam hard throughout the race.

Barbara Hawkins

[Ohio] is going to be a tougher meet than Toledo. I see it as being tougher than when we swam Miami, and by far tougher than when we swam Eastern Michigan.

Bob Thomas

All in all, we swam pretty well going into sectional week. We're right on track where we need to be.

Frank Michalowski

The first day passed, and the storm was not so bad. Tuesday we stayed. And Wednesday we swam our way to the interstate.

Barbara Griffin

Emily told me after the race that this was the best experience of her life. But that's because of what her performance meant to the team. Everybody made a contribution tonight and either swam their season-best or career-best times.

Joe Thier

I was actually really sick. I threw up right after I swam.

Lauren Brick

We swam well; we put out some very good times tonight. It's just that they had a little more depth than us tonight.

Joe Kosman

I'm pretty pleased with the way our guys swam. We wanted to come back after last week and do well. I'm pleased with our relays. They are the cornerstone of our program. The team stepped it up and really swam well today.

Bill Wadley

I'm very proud of the guys. We swam very well when we could've just showed up, we showed a lot of pride.

Matt Watson

With the girls, we though we had an outside shot of winning. The girls swam extremely well at Friday's trials and during Saturday's finals. South stepped up.

Dean Mason

We swam really tough. We just ran out of bodies at the end.

Ryan Sprang

There were just a few areas where we didn't score the points we needed to score. I thought worst-case scenario (the score) would never get that high. Their guys stepped it up. I give them credit. They swam fast races across the board.

Ryan Sprang

Caitlin swam really well this weekend. The Meet of Champions should give her an idea of where she'll be next weekend at the regional club meet she is set to compete at in Boston.

Dan Cone

He's just a beast. He's got so much raw talent. I swam some great times; I'm ecstatic.

Bryan Hill

She'll probably have to swim about a 1:12, ... Her best last year was 1:17, but she swam for the Aggie Swim Club this March through July and I think that's going to make a very big difference in what she accomplishes this year. You can already see the difference in her in the water. She's already in pretty good shape and she got some pretty good instruction over the summer.

Tracy Campbell

One of the team goals is that we'd like to have excellent performances. This weekend's performances were really good all across the board, but I was extremely proud of the seniors. I thought our seniors just did a great job. Our senior leadership was excellent. They all stepped up and had fun in their last meet, and they all swam fast.

Bill Wadley

If we would have swam out of our minds and swam a perfect meet, we would have won. But in reality, we finished right where we should have.

Whitney Hite

We swam in that pool (in the Northeast Invitational on Jan. 13-14). We know how big (the facility) is. Hopefully that experience will help.

Kelly Janda

We did very well considering the swimmers we were missing. The younger kids really stepped up and swam well.

John Sultan

For as small of a swim team (Gunnison) is, they have some great depth. They came off a long bus ride and swam well.

Jen Zimmerman

Truthfully, I was kind of disappointed. I was hoping I would have swam faster. I was at my peak last week. I still swam faster this year than I have any year before.

Steve Klabak

I'm always a little skeptical before our first dual meet of the season because you never know what to expect. But I thought that, by and large, the girls swam well. We still have a few problems that we need to address, but all in all I was pleased with the effort.

Chuck Olson

I remember after we swam, there was another team right behind us and there was a lot of adrenaline pumping. We were all very excited when we finished second, and we're very excited to go to the state meet in that event.

Kate Marschner

We swam pretty well, considering it wasn't a big meet. I thought they stepped up and raced against each other. This meet was a good chance to see the new kids. I have 17 freshmen this year and I need to get a feel for what they can do. We know a meet against Rosary is going to be very tough.

Renee Miller

The disappointment didn't last very long. We swam well. And once I saw my split time, I knew I couldn't have done any better.

Evan Gregory

We jumped in the water and tens of sharks and large snappers immediately swam up to the boat to investigate us. After giving it some thought, we decided to jump all together. We did, the sharks swam away, and they came back later with a less aggressive behavior. Safety is in numbers. ... These were fishes that have never seen humans before.

Enric Sala

Emily's time is extremely fast. Fallon swam her fastest time of the season and had a good race.

Elyce Kastigar

Deedee swam her best time ever and reset her own school record by about a second. I want her to place as high as possible at state. I'd like to see her go under 2:10, which is a major milestone for a female high school swimmer.

Ed Burnsed
