It worked out perfect. I was so happy with how it went. I was so proud of my teammates and everyone. Just a great meet.

The city took it upon themselves to reclaim the site for reuse. It was never approved by the agencies.

It's one thing for someone to walk a dog up there. I walked out there many times myself. It's another thing to have a bunch of young children, whose bodies are still growing and developing, playing soccer, falling down and rolling on the ground, and spending a large amount of time there every week.

Not many people get to say what I say about my team. When I practice, I'm practicing with some of the best swimmers in the state. They push me, and I push them as well.

It's been a great season for me. My times got consistently faster the whole year.

(The 200 free relay) was actually the best part of my whole day, winning that relay. Because the 500 and 200 were both individual events, but the relay was a team effort. I was very happy with that.
