Mark Heller Quotations

We knew we were the underdog. We all pushed our hardest, but East is a strong team.

Workers are afraid they will not be asked back if they complain.

It was shot in the position round and we won both halves and we won the championship. In fact, I needed the last four strikes for the win and for the 800 and that made the series special.

It went about as smoothly and efficiently as could have been reasonably expected -- and better than most people expected. Nevertheless, it's been destabilizing and unsettling enough to make it almost certain that what's going to happen next is a pause to reflect and reconsider.

Skinner and I did a real good job today. We took 1-2-4 in the 500. Even the East coach said that made a statement.

I don't think the noise will be much of an impact; we're not doing any blasting.

This has been the best year of swimming for me. I've really enjoyed it.
