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.

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.

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.

I was extremely impressed with all the players today. Juliano and Travis were outstanding for the boys and Ashley played a terrific match for the girls.

As Norm Smith says: 'you'll win the game by controlling the midfield' and that's what our boys did today. Our biggest emphasis was putting our body on the line and controlling the ball across the centre Ð that's how we won.

Despite coming up short today, it sounds like the boys have had an amazing week.
