Kate Ziegler Quotations

I had kind of high hopes for myself, but to do as well as I have, I've surprised myself, ... It's unexplainable how excited I am.

I wasn't really working too hard tonight. I just wanted to go out and work the walls a little bit and just feel good.

We came over right before they closed the pool, so I did some extra stretching. We had other things we could do, so I didn't let it affect me.

Coming into this meet, I didn't have high expectations. I was just coming in here to have a good time. I did everything I wanted to do, and I was pretty happy with how it turned out. It was beyond what I expected.

As far as the world record goes, it still seems so far away from me, ... As far as the world championships . . . I'm just so happy how it's gone.

They're so ridiculously fast, ... I don't even take out my races that fast. They're tough records.

It's great, knowing you are racing against the best in the States is a good feeling,

I never see myself as being versatile enough to be in the running for that, so to be able to get that honor was really nice.

It helped a lot to have done well in the 1,500, ... I had a lot of confidence.
