The (girls) meet was never in doubt.

I'm leaving some girls home.

They're trying for Sectionals. They can swim a lot faster there. They're using (the state meet) as a springboard for Sectionals.

My freshman class is pretty strong.

They really stepped it up.

That's one of the reasons they hired me. That's what I'm known for. If you talk to Mark Gray (from East), his kids have big swims during the season and only drop a little at state. My kids inch their way to better times, than have huge drops at state.
