Larry Baeder Quotations

We're going to need some help. I don't know if we're going to get any help from the Bays. We're pretty far back, kind of on the outside looking in.

We had some strong swims today. They knew it would be a tough day and they stepped up and swam well.

For a freshman to swim that fast in the 500, you know you have a special kid on your hands. He was hoping to be seeded No. 1...He wants to be the freshman that wins the event.

It's a mixed bag of emotion all the way around. We had some good swims and we had some swims that were a little disappointing. We obviously were hoping to place better, but the competition was absolutely amazing.

In a way, it's kind of classic Derrick. For four years now, he's gone and missed pool records by tenths of seconds, hundreds of seconds. I can't even remember how many times he's been that close to a record and just missed it.
