balanced best bit continue hard predict quite teams work
It's hard to predict what the other teams are going to do, we just have to continue to do the best we can do and work on fine-tuning things we need to work on. There are still quite a bit of balanced teams out there.

It was a tremendous performance this weekend. We really benefited from many things. We aren't a powerhouse and we pretty much are a team that's done everything on hard work.

Brown has developed into a strong leader. She has great talent in the 100 breast and leads by example.

Melanie has a chance in the 500-freestyle, if she cuts 15 seconds from her time she really has a chance.

They have been impressive this season. This will be a good meet for our entire team to compete in.

It was a really nice performance both days. We would have finished ahead of Grand Junction, but we didn't have a diving team.

I'm kind of surprised how well we swam after a good weekend. We didn't have a flat meet and a few (girls) even improved (since Saturday).
bring course experience far shown team
They all participated on that team and bring a lot of experience to this team. Their experience has shown for us so far as we go through the course of the season.
academic athletics both care exclusive high kids occur perspective privilege recognize school side taken teacher trying
I have the perspective of both sides, being a teacher at the high school and being a coach. The kids have to recognize that we aren't trying to make it exclusive or too hard, but it should not be a right to be a participant in athletics it should be a privilege that should occur after the academic side is taken care of.
help meet potential quite reach team
This meet showed that we are on the right path. We have a team with quite a lot of potential, which will help us reach our goal.
hungry
We need to retool and get hungry for a qualifying time.
best swim
We really just want to have our best swim at state, that is all we want to expect.
