(Michigan) has had one of the best programs around. We've had some competitive meets with them. A couple times we swam better, but their diving beat us.

I don't think I had a contested shot in the first half. They were playing that jump trap and every time they doubled Whit [Holcomb-Faye] or Andre [Bynum] that left me wide open. I liked that.

At the end of the day, Allegiance is executing. It is delivering on their promises to customers.

We got guys that aspire to be NCAA champions. You got go against those top guys to feel what it is like.

We would like to see that progress continue to develop. And see some more of those type performances.

I'm very pleased with our effort. We competed hard, recorded a number of season best times - and none of it came easy, which is good for us. It was a really intense weekend for our team, but we still have one more meet left, so we're ready to come home and go back to work.

I was somewhat concerned that we wouldn't race as well as we have been, because it's Michigan. But after we won that first relay, we started to believe that we could maybe win this meet.

It's going to be a tough situation because we are all entering with heavy hearts. But I think it's good for (Michigan) to come down and get off campus and compete.

It was an outstanding performance, but would like to see him get in done in the morning.
