Coming into this meet, I didn't have high expectations. I was just coming in here to have a good time. I did everything I wanted to do, and I was pretty happy with how it turned out. It was beyond what I expected.

They're so ridiculously fast, ... I don't even take out my races that fast. They're tough records.

I had kind of high hopes for myself, but to do as well as I have, I've surprised myself, ... It's unexplainable how excited I am.

It helped a lot to have done well in the 1,500, ... I had a lot of confidence.

We came over right before they closed the pool, so I did some extra stretching. We had other things we could do, so I didn't let it affect me.
