Gary Strickler Quotations

We're graduating Gabe, and that's an enormous number of points to lose off a team, and we don't have his equivalent in junior high or in the freshman or sophomore classes.

Going into today, we wanted to hold (second place). But the guys deserved the opportunity to prove they?re the best in the state. Our goal was to do as well as we could.

The guys were in the pool at 5 a.m. this morning. We've started to taper with some guys whose last meet will be the Valley or who are close to a (state) qualifying time. Everyone else begins to taper for the end of the season starting tomorrow morning.
