He has a lot of humility. I've never heard him complain, not once, about the events that he's in or about the relays he's in.

At summer club meets he kind of coaches little kids at Hillside.

She talks to all the other coaches and even the assistant coaches. She introduces herself to people. At the big meets there are these huge warm-ups with girls running into each other, and usually when people do that, they come up growling at each other. Joy will pop up and smile and say hello. She's a wonderful person first, then coincidentally happens to be a really great swimmer.

I don't think a lot of teams were counting on him to be as fast as he is. He works hard. He hits two-a-days, and last year was really his first time swimming.

But I think I am the only one that feels any pain about that. He just moves forward and does what he needs to do.

She had a sweet, sweet 50 in the prelims last year (26.1), so that was kind of what we were chasing and it just didn't quite come down for her this year. So I was hoping there was a 50 sprinter in there with that distant sprinter.
