Amy will be playing a big role. All of the distance swimmers will be coming back next year and with her contributions it should make for a good season.

My biggest concern with the younger girls was that I was afraid the older swimmers would be jealous, ... That's not the case at all. There is no jealousy and everyone supports each other. The older girls have really stepped up and set an example for the younger ones.
Sean O'connor
You know how fast they are so you know how to fit that in to your race. It's cool to be here with all the top swimmers and everything, but I've felt sick all week.
Justin Max
The top 24 swimmers in the state qualify for an individual event (at state). Right now he's in the top 24 in the state in the 100-yard backstroke.
Jim Engler
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.
Tony Demuro
My swimmers know exactly what I mean when I just whistle and point.
Nancy Hinrichs
We saw personal bests from a lot of swimmers today. And I think we got a good preview of the competition we'll see at state.
Shane Syndergaard
We have balance at the top and in the middle. A lot of the girls are club swimmers. They like the (team) program and like what's going on.
Tim Mcelrath
They all did a great job. It has been really great watching our first-year swimmers get better and better skill-wise.
Julie Withington
The competition level is different. Before high school, I'd usually be going against swimmers who were around my speed in all the heats. Now, I find myself swimming against people who are either a lot faster or a lot slower than me.
Sarah Vandish
She's a very cerebral swimmer. She spends an inordinate amount of time studying her competition. When she gets into the pool with swimmers she hasn't competed against before, that knowledge gives her an edge.
Robin Tobias
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.
Tony Demuro
Usually (swimmers) stick to their two specialties over the course of four years. Brendan swam something different at the state meet every year (over the past three seasons).
Jeremy Landa
We didn't win because we had one kid that was a superstar. We won because we had a lot of good swimmers. That's how you do it in this sport.
Larry Swim
We are all so dedicated. We wake up every morning, and our club swimmers come all the time and we are so dedicated, and we care so much about it, because we put so much into it. We are all just a family, and this is everything for our seniors.
Ashlyn Llerandi
Our emphasis in practice right now is to simulate race speed as much as possible while incorporating adequate recovery in between sets. This is the stage of the season when attention to detail will separate the postseason swimmers from the rest of the field. At this point, our relays are still our best shot at making it out of district.
Tony Phillips
We have been trying to make it for four years now. This kind of shows (future Grandview swimmers) they can do it. They can get someone to the state meet.
Hali Robinson
We're going to keep an eye on that group of swimmers and try to get them to be just a little faster. That was the fastest 200 free relay team we've had in a long time.
Laura Graf
Looking at what their times have been and what they're doing now, we've improved a second here or there. We're right where you want to be. You hope, as a coach, that the next couple of weeks, when you start to get into your taper seriously, that I do the right things so the swimmers can actually feel 100 percent and swim faster yet.
Dick Marcussen
Our swimmers should have had better performances in Athens. I think we still have much to improve, such as strokes, starts, turns and sprints.
Shang Xiutang
The JV swimmers continue to improve every meet.
Jenny Borkowski
Over the past couple of years, we didn't have a very big team. We had the quality but not the quantity. We need to get some more swimmers.
Jim Callahan
It felt pretty good. It was surprising. I thought I would be faster than that. I put in the work and i feel it's starting to pay off. A little surprised on the other swimmers though. I expected a little faster times from them.
Sean Leneave
We are looking for improvement. All of our swimmers have improved throughout the season.
Amanda Hill
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
We have a lot of young swimmers on the men's side. Athletes take longer in men's swimming to make a difference, and this team will continue to grow as they gain experience.
Michael Litzinger
I think I can swim even faster, but I can't complain. I did as well as I could. I am happy to be able to compete against all these phenomenal swimmers from around the state.
Jeff Montague
We are talking to individuals, both the competitive ones like swimmers and the non-competitors like coaches and instructors, also groups like swimming clubs. We want to imbue the association with a strong sense of conduct in all its dealings.
Mark Joseph
They're very solid swimmers all year long. They don't have too many letdowns. They're not concerned about one meet being more important than the next.
Brent Newman
We have tremendous depth in all the events, that's made it enjoyable for me. We can try any number of things in making up the lineups. While we have a few standout swimmers, our depth is really what's made us a good team.
Aaron Portenga
They also have year-round swimmers, and they give us some good competition. We expect to have another good meet.
Julie Withington
I want to be able to look back and say, 'I've done everything I can, and I was successful.' I don't want to look back and say I should have done this or that. I'd like to change things for the younger generation of swimmers coming along.
Michael Phelps
Our seniors have shown the younger swimmers what it takes to be successful. The seniors have allowed us to establish a tradition.
Shari Walling
Last year we beat them, but it came down to the last relay — this year shouldn't be as close. They have a couple of good swimmers, but we have more depth than last year, so we are expecting a win.
Dave Holmes
I am delighted that we have such talented swimmers who have qualified at the first opportunity offered to them at the Commonwealth Trials in August. This group have a wealth of experience to call upon.
Robert James
British swimming, team staff and the vast majority of Britain's swimmers remain committed to Bill and are looking forward to more success on the road to Beijing.
David Sparkes
I was really impressed with Kerry; it's great when you see the up-and-coming swimmers get state qualifications. She is getting really fabulous, she is really improving.
Michelle Brune
I was real pleased. We had two to five swimmers in the top 12 in almost every event. That's just an astounding number.
Jeremy Layman
It was a great meet for us. With the exception of a few swimmers, all hit some personal best times.
Chere' Moore
My top swimmers did real well. It was a good meet for us.
Julie Withington
Our depth has been the key. We feel like we have three swimmers in the top eight in several events. You can score a lot of points that way.
Craig Harris
They all did really well. It's the first time any South swimmers have been on the podium to receive awards so that's very exciting for us.
Mike Heuke
Individually we had some of our best swimmers do well and win events. We had four or five guys that did outstanding, and that's probably going to be the story of our team this year.
Michael Chasson
They had some very talented swimmers and greater numbers than our own.
Deb Mandeville
We were in awe last week at the Sectionals but this week really proved that we belonged at States. We competed and battled during each and every race that we were a part of. We didn't appear to be intimidated today, which is a step in the right direction for our swimmers.
Mike Gavin
The thing I was happiest about is that during prelims, we had 40 swimmers and 39 had their best times. Tonight, most of the swimmers improved their times again. Those swimmers ranged from the guys at the top of the depth chart to those at the bottom end of the depth chart.
Darrin Millar
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
We have good swimmers. Our problem is with our roster size; it makes it kind of hard to score team points. Really, I think our kids will do just fine when it comes to sectional time.
Dennis Davis
We had 31 personal-best swims today. Our second and third swimmers in every event are having great years.
Mike Gavin
We have got a group of swimmers who are not just satisfied with making the team any more. They expect to win medals.
Bill Sweetenham
It's honestly disappointing that we don't have more numbers. But the swimmers that we do have are working hard; they're continuing to get better. We have a great freshman class. They bring a lot of energy; they're a lot of fun; they're just a great group to work with.
Dennis Davis
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.
Todd Marco
It's impressive. There are a lot of swimmers putting up automatic All-American times. I'm just happy to be here.
Glenn Clark
The team is really excited about getting the season started. They are looking forward to making themselves better swimmers each day.
Dick Hawks
Eastern Michigan is one of the favorites in the conference to compete against Miami for the MAC title. EMU has some of the top freestyle swimmers and top divers in the conference and this should tell us where we stand going into the last couple of weeks of the season.
Brian Vereb
If everybody could move up one place, Morse would be a good shape. The key would be to beat Waterville and Lewiston swimmers.
Todd Marco
It's just another opportunity for me to swim, to see faster teams and get faster times. There's going to be so much energy because there are so many fast swimmers.
Sean Lorenz
We were one of the smallest teams there but we had a good meet. Some teams carry 40 or 50 swimmers. Our program is not that big. Of the teams in the top 20, we had the least number of swimmers competing.
Paul Mielke
I can only call them so many times. We could really use two more swimmers to help with relays.
Patti Worsley
He's worked so hard this season. Not only as an individual, but as the captain of the team and leading the other swimmers.
Lisa Corbett
Since we have split, if we work hard, and if I can figure everything out; putting swimmers into the right events, we could take second if not first.
Tracy Myers
We'll have some good races with them, but we have more depth on both the guys and girls side. I feel that as long as our swimmers take it seriously, we should be successful.
Bob Thomas
We're making sure that everyone is aware and that the beach patrols and lifeguards are keeping an eye on the swimmers and that everybody knows about the riptide possibility.
Mark Kruea
I'm proud of what all of [the other Greensburg Central Catholic swimmers] did. Everybody had at least one lifetime-best time.
Katie Cutrell
She's so personable, nice, and sweet, plus she's not that big for a swimmer, so she can relate to the swimmer's who aren't physically gifted.
Orlando Anaya
I have some high goals left, I?m ready for states. I?m looking to top my time there, and I?m excited about it. But it?s going to be tough, there?s a lot of good (state) competition. District 7 and District 11 have a lot of good swimmers, I?m looking forward to it.
Ryne Francis
Running, swimming and flying occur in vastly different physical environments and, likewise, involve quite different body mechanics. Nonetheless, there are strong convergences in certain functional characteristics of runners, swimmers and fliers.
Adrian Bejan
The meets are designed for swimmers at all different levels.
Patti Worsley
You can't determine whether to build a bridge by counting the number of swimmers. Consumers don't care about technology at the end of the day.
Marc Andreessen
We have good swimmers, but we go in down nine, eight or seven points before the meet even starts. That's difficult to make up.
Patti Hoch
He had the look I wanted. All I really wanted was a swimmer's body.
Ron Coleman
There are two or three swimmers here who have a lot of potential, who I can see doing very well. For them, I will give them more tips and go a little deeper in helping them.
Lenny Krayzelburg
All but two swimmers made it to regional. I'm real proud of the boys and girls. They all did a great job.
Debi Mease
Swimming is individual-oriented. We encourage all swimmers to go for their personal best as opposed to the (team) win.
Brian Townsend
They are very unstable in salt water. They do pose a threat to the divers, any swimmers, any boaters in the area.
Jim Amormino
We understand the stage we're in and some people just don't understand we're a small country. We don't have the college system that the US has got. They have so many swimmers but I don't think the low will stay for too long.
Grant Hackett
That's pretty impressive when you consider there were like 12 teams there. Most teams have one or two top-notch kids in their relays, and then there's a bit of a drop off. But with us, we have four or five swimmers who are all fast, but not standouts by themselves.
Dave Shoup
Not many people get to say what I say about my team. When I practice, I'm practicing with some of the best swimmers in the state. They push me, and I push them as well.
Andrew Hoffman
It was a good test for us, because we got to throw our swimmers in events that they are normally going to swim in and probably swim in at the end of the year. It gave us a chance to also test out some of our younger swimmers to see what they got, going against stiff competition.
Jerry Casey
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
He was two seconds off some of the best swimmers in the state in the biggest meet of his life.
Matt Mcelroy
Jeff Winters can pretty much swim anything. He's very versatile and is one of our top swimmers.
Nicole Mancini
The 1000 free is really an event that we can be proud of. It is nine and a half minutes of enjoyment for our team to watch. Steve (Roof) and Kyle (Young) are two of the best distance swimmers in the country.
Neil Harper
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
Amity was missing swimmers and divers due to illness and injury. We had an early commanding lead and never looked back.
Rich Thompson
I think we were just so overwhelmed with being here. It kind of took over our nerves. We're the first swimmers to make it to the state in our school's history. That's quite an accomplishment. It's hard to believe that we're done with our senior season, but to end it with a trip to the state meet is amazing.
Hali Robinson
The top 20 earn awards so it was cool to have two swimmers in that.
Shawna Smith
I can tell you that she can beat a couple of those younger kids. They're not great swimmers, but she'll beat a couple.
Bill Halpin
I consider myself a swimmer and a diver. I know what swimmers go through and what divers go through. Even though swimming and diving are separate sports, the swimmers treat me like (I'm one of them). They are always there for me.
Sarah Snyder
It's hard to pinpoint exactly which events are going to be key because, in my opinion, they are all key. Obviously relays are going to come into play. We need to maximize our points there. Also, our outside lane swimmers need to step it up and steal some points.
Ryan Sprang
It gives us some more times and a better indication of what our swimmers can do in an event. Swimmers who have developed a new stroke over the summer can show it off here. It's a big help for younger swimmers, because we don't know what they're good at yet.
Aaron Portenga
To all the Longhorn fans and all the young swimmers out there; it's possible.
Neil Walker
Rick is one of the swimmers who gives so much back to the community, ... The more we have athletes on our national team that can do this, the more our sport will progress.
Pierre Lafontaine
The Black River is normally exceptionally clear; it's great for swimming and floating. Now, beyond the east fork, below the lower reservoir, it is very muddy. It has what we call a lot of turbidity. This is a concern not only for swimmers, but also for a lot of aquatic species.
Kurt Schaefer
We've been able to build strong relay teams as well. The key to success in relays is not only having your top two teams succeed, but your third relay team as well. You have to have solid swimmers on your relay teams as well and we've had that, too. It gives us a great edge.
Craig Harris
I was one of seven children, and that is where we all learned to swim and became competitive swimmers.
Dolores Davis
We are very strong in some events and we have so many swimmers. I'm just hoping that our depth pays off.
Brian Holm
It's so good for the older swimmers to see the younger ones come such a long way.
Juan Dominguez
This is the best performance in Auburn history. We talked about being focused and confident and having the courage to step up and most importantly to have fun. We had nothing to lose, our swimmers took care of business, and this was bonus points for the team.
Jeff Shaffer
We lost something like 44 points from last year. We replaced it with like five points from incoming freshman. That means the returning swimmers really turned it up. But it doesn't make it any less disappointing.
John Casadia
I've met some of the nicest swimmers and coaches a person could ever meet. I love the kids and I love the association with them.
Larry Pace
A little pressure is good but we don't want it to be too much. Also, when swimmers always swim the same events, it gets a little stale after a while. We decided to mix things up.
Laura Graf
We lost a couple of crucial swimmers, but this team is doing such a good job and really stepping up. If you ask them, they probably would say that they expect to finish just as well as last year, if not better.
Frank Busch
They had some fantastic swimmers in the 400 free and we were tired. The adrenaline flow was so heavy early and by the end it was a struggle. It was a very draining meet in terms of emotion.
Judd Anderson
Even though Milan's pool is only three years old, Monroe broke some very impressive pool records set by some very fast swimmers. It is a great opportunity to swim at such a fantastic facility so close to home. We really appreciate Milan for inviting us to swim at their pool.
Jeremy Layman
(Middle-lane swimmers) definitely are not going to be enough this year, not against Cherry Hill East or West.
John Casadia
It's been awesome getting to see them over the last six years become the swimmers they are now.
Rebecca Middleton
I think we'll have a strong showing in sectionals. We have some strong swimmers, they swim hard and smart, and I think we'll be ready.
Mason Storm
It puts you at a slight disadvantage. You have to teach your new swimmers, but we are glad we have the opportunity to do it before districts.
Julie Withington
For our kids who are actual swimmers, they get bored pretty fast.
Wade Taylor
The swimmers were thrilled. It was a really heart-felt moment. Some of the parents were in tears. You hear about athletes but very seldom do you hear about them giving back at that level. That's a significant level of money for a guy that doesn't make a lot of money.
Randy Bennett
The swimmers are swimming out of their socks.
Sharron Davies
We did very well considering the swimmers we were missing. The younger kids really stepped up and swam well.
John Sultan
I am very proud of the swimmers and divers, they all did a great job. We set several records and probably 80 percent of the guys had lifetime best performances. Our hats are off to UNLV, they deserved to win and they did an outstanding job.
Tim Powers
They're very versatile swimmers and they're pretty much my utility girls. They can compete in almost every event and do quite well. I haven't decided what they'll be doing, but wherever we put them, they're going to do a great job.
Christina Collins
(Our girls) won every single individual and relay event, which hasn't been done in recent history. We just have really strong talent as far as girls go. We have top swimmers, so we took some chances on the relays. We were able to step up and win all three of them. It was a very exciting meet for us.
Jessica Laws
The swimmers are excited to perform at home and have family and friends see them at the state level. This meet will require many volunteer hours and our team is excited and preparing to host a great event.
Elyce Kastigar
They gave out cash prizes to the pro swimmers. There were Olympic athletes and college ones. They were from all over. They were high-caliber athletes.
Elyce Kastigar
The hardest skill to acquire in this sport is the one where you compete all out, give it all you have, and you are still getting beat no matter what you do. When you have the killer instinct to fight through that, it is very special. All great swimmers have that skill.
Eddie Reese
When I came here, Texas had the greatest facility in the world at the time. What also attracted me to UT was the fact that I wouldn't lose as many good swimmers to the academically prestigious schools, because swimmers could also get a great education here.
Eddie Reese
Even though I didn't know I was going to be a swim coach, I always acted like it. I was always coaching other swimmers and telling them what to do.
Eddie Reese
I hope that residents of Aberdeen and surrounding areas will come watch South Dakota's best competition of swimmers and see what competitive swimming is about. People across the state are excited to compete in Aberdeen's new pool.
Elyce Kastigar
The time standards for this meet are much greater than the sectional meet. Emily continues to step up to achieve greater time standards which allows her more opportunities to swim with other swimmers across the country.
