The most amazing thing wasn't our wins but some of our second and thirds from the younger guys. We had some outstanding swims that didn't even score, so that tells you our guys are doing what they have to do.

Thorpe said they were bad swims but, for anyone else, that's a world-class performance. You don't swim 1:46 consistently unless you're in good shape.
Dean Price
They're not pointless. I feel they have a place in my personal experience. Like, 'Lake Swimming' — I like the second verse of that song. It's just this dream world about swimming in a lake, but everyone swims in a lake. Everyone knows what that's like.
Laura Veirs
Thorpe said they were bad swims, but for anyone else, that's a world-class performance ... Thorpe has been below 1:46 only four or five times in his life.
Dean Price
She was our hero of the day. Our team is improving weekly and is right on target for many season's best swims at districts next month.
Deb Mandeville
Luke is in a difficult position because he swims as well. He will be in all three relays. Luke got interested in diving during his freshman year. Luke was pretty athletic and was captain of the soccer team. He is willing to do difficult dives and he is very strong on the board. He can get up high.
Matt Tucker
They all had great swims. They were very close to qualifying.
Judy Stamm
'That (100 backstroke) was a really big event for us. East had their big swims in the 100 free, and we knew we had to come back and score well.
Jessica Laws
It was one of those swims that felt really good all the way through. It didn't hurt at all. I had really good splits. I'm really, really happy with that swim.
Kara Lynn Joyce
We weren't completely focused and after our swims yesterday, we knew we had to pick it up today. We were swimming for ourselves today.
Laura Stark
That's one of the reasons they hired me. That's what I'm known for. If you talk to Mark Gray (from East), his kids have big swims during the season and only drop a little at state. My kids inch their way to better times, than have huge drops at state.
Joe Pereira
He really wants to lower his times and he also swims against pool records. He really studies times a lot and knows what he needs to shoot for.
Rhonda Wilson
We know St. Augustine is a really great program. We had some nice individual swims from the kids, and we hope that's a good indication of how we can do next year. We were a little outgunned today but we still wanted to work hard and try to do our best.
Brian Booth
What he swims at the Commonwealth Games is a matter for the coaches.
Dave Flaskas
The championship is where I expect her to do her best swims. She's gotten more consistent time-wise this year, but that doesn't matter. If she gets to the end and does the same thing she's been doing all year, she'll be upset.
Jill Sterkel
When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck.
James Whitcomb Riley
The training and effort we get in Hawaii yields tremendous swims in March at the (NCAA Division II) national championships. And since that is basically our entire season, we've elected to move towards that environment.
Brian Reynolds
We broke two relay records; that was really important to us. We're losing a large senior class, and for us to finish up this way, it was a good way to finish counties. Everybody's had a lot of great swims, so that just topped off the winning part.
Laura Stark
The pool has been a big help for us. It's a big benefit having a playground for the kids and swim lessons. At swim lessons, the lifeguards helped one girl who was afraid to jump in 5 feet, now she swims laps in 5 feet.
Matthew Murphy
DEBT, n. An ingenious substitute for the chain and whip of the slave- driver. As, pent in an aquarium, the troutlet Swims round and round his tank to find an outlet, Pressing his nose against the glass that holds him, Nor ever sees the prison that enfolds him; So the poor debtor, seeing naught around him, Yet feels the narrow limits that impound him, Grieves.
Ambrose Bierce
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
A lot of guys had amazing swims to keep us in the meet.
Dan Flannery
I would say Rosary is definitely top three in the state. We got our butts kicked. We did have some good swims and some not so good swims.
Renee Miller
Personally, as the leader, I think that if you can get your team one good swim, more [good] swims are going to follow. It's not to say that we couldn't have turned it around, but I think I got the ball moving in the wrong direction.
Fran Crippen
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
You will notice drastic line-up changes and improved swims when the second half begins. Unfortunately, for the weaker teams, they can get beat up early in the season. It does give all teams great meets to look forward to.
Rich Thompson
It's a mixed bag of emotion all the way around. We had some good swims and we had some swims that were a little disappointing. We obviously were hoping to place better, but the competition was absolutely amazing.
Larry Baeder
He used to be out on the boats all the time. He has good days and bad days because of his arthritis. He can't really run anymore, but he still swims. He loves swimming and it helps his hips.
Raegan Arnold
We had 31 personal-best swims today. Our second and third swimmers in every event are having great years.
Mike Gavin
It is a challenge to keep them motivated, but they motivate themselves. We just approach it that everybody that swims brings out the best in each other.
Matthew Williams
He was just phenomenal every time he got into the pool. He had some really strong swims and set a whole new level for himself.
Michael Stewart
I think they're really proud of their effort today. It was really a great second effort coming off of yesterday. We had to make sure our relays were ready and that they weren't holding anything back, and we got great swims out of all those relays.
Heather Cunningham
I know all about you. You're the people waiting on the shoreline with the warm towels and the hot chocolate after the woman swims the English Channel.
Gwen Moore
All season long we've had everybody have a job to do. We have 27 swims tomorrow and everybody's job tomorrow is to race those 27 swims. We're not asking anybody to do more than their fair share. For us a real key is having everyone focused on doing their job.
Jeff Lowell
Everything that swims eats menhaden.
Rube Mcmullen
Ultimately, we're looking for strong swims to set us up for sectionals. We did that (in this meet). A lot of guys had great swims on the varsity level.
Ben Thayer
I think it's going to be special. I've been involved with some good ones in the past and I think this is going to be one of the best. Whoever swims the best that day will win.
John Sultan
All of the boys had lifetime-best swims and all three relays were season-bests.
Brian Dickmann
Jackie, Stephanie, Lindsay Anderson and Samantha Moore all had really good swims for us.
Sheron Ruble
What happens is that the seal swims up through an open net into the breathing hole. We hear the seal breathing through a microphone and transmitter that we've placed in the snow and that transmits back to our hut.
Brendan Kelly
We had a pretty good day. Almost all of the spots where we were seeded are coming back and we even moved up a couple of spots in a few races. Prelims is always an up and down day, and we had some up and down swims as far as best times go. But we're ready to score some points.
Don Helling
We had some strong swims today. They knew it would be a tough day and they stepped up and swam well.
Larry Baeder
You have all these rapidly emerging areas around China, your head swims trying to keep up with it, ... We've had investment by Chinese firms for a long time, but they used to be very, very low key about it. Now they come in with trumpets blaring and flags flying saying, 'Pay attention to us.' .
Jack Kyser
I just decided to hit the water again. I started using open water swims around the country as something to train for and keep me going.
Terry Egan
I'm super proud of the boys. We had awesome swims today, spectacular swims actually. We moved up places in some events and everybody just did excellent. It was a really, really fun day.
Heather Cunningham
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
We're making progress. There were some good in-season swims today and some people stepped up, so hopefully it's showing that we're going to do something good [in the Pac-10 tournament].
Mike Chasson
It doesn't really matter what he swims, he'll win it.
Karen Steger
A lot of my guys that you really don't know about that will dictate how things play out at the end of the year were really hot today. Our fourth and fifth swims were really solid across the board, and I had some huge 200 free swims right out the gate. That's going to make life a lot easier for us having some guys fill that role.
Doug Stone
For the girls, 10 of our 13 swims were lifetime-bests and all three relays had season-bests. All in all, it was a very enjoyable meet to watch.
Brian Dickmann
Not everybody just swims everyday. We wanted an all-in-one-facility.
Steve Newport
Her learning curve is pretty quick. She picks things up rather quickly. She swims pretty straight.
Scott Kerr
A second warm water pool would allow for more concurrent activities and for more comfortable temperatures for a large range of patrons, including persons with disabilities, elderly aerobics participants, infants and small children in swimming lessons, families during open swims, and physical therapy patients.
Andrew Olson
All of us had great swims.
Bryan Hill
We had awesome, awesome swims today. We had best times for just about everybody. We looked really great in that respect and we have an opportunity to earn some more points tomorrow, but we have to stay where we are or move ahead.
Heather Cunningham
My dad swims with me in the morning. He swims with old buddies of his. I've always had connections with swimming through my dad. My dad always tells me to reach at the finish. He's always, always reminding me.
Jake Edwards
I expected us to be top five but when they announced third, I was shocked. We had some good swims, especially in the 200-yard medley relay. I was just glad to be there and see it happen.
