Joe Kosman Quotations

Mitch wants to be (seeded) in the top six in the 50 (at state). Lately, his turns have been outstanding - he crushes people. He's dominating off the turn and I'm pleased with that.

Mitch swam an excellent race. He was really pumped up. I could see the drive in him. He really performed today.

Frank did a great job with his team this year. He had a great mix of talented swimmers and divers. He was not gifted with a large team of people, but he took the people he had and really pushed them to make them great.

He looked strong from (Friday) when we got here. He felt great in the water and it carried into (Saturday). He was mentally ready.

He'll go out with confidence and do the best he can. Since he walked in (to practice this season), he's led the team and scored some big points for us.

We swam well; we put out some very good times tonight. It's just that they had a little more depth than us tonight.

I take my hat off to how dedicated he is to the sport. He's always staying late at practice.

That was the first time together with that foursome, it turned out pretty good.

We mixed up our lineup just to try something new and they responded.

According to a (Milwaukee) Brewers doctor, a specialist in shoulders, it is a rotator cuff (injury). He's been cleared to swim and I was real happy with that.

I'm excited to see how much they continue to improve and how good they can continue to get.

He's just a real hard worker. As soon as they're done stretching, he's on that board and he's usually the last to leave practice. He just has a love for the sport, which is nice to see.

I can't compliment (diving coach) Carolyn Peterson enough with what she's done with our divers. She's really been working with our divers and it showed today.

He really gets himself up for big meets. He just stepped up real big. When he gets put in a pressure situation, he holds up real well.
