We know where guys will fit into the lineup. We will do what is best for the team. I don't think there will be any big surprises.
Verona has kind of become a rival for us.
We want to qualify as many guys for state as we can. If we can do that, I'm confident that we can hold our taper for another week.
For most of them it will really take their best swims of the season in order to qualify. We are treating this as the last meet of the year.
He was just three tenths of a second away from breaking the school record in the 100 fly.
Our goal was to try to beat Milton. We fell a little short of beating Milton.
Steve breaking the record gives the team some momentum heading into the final meet of the season. We have really pushed these guys hard and they have come back and responded.
I think coming into the weekend expectations were high with the way we finished at the sectional. They swam their best last weekend. For them to come back and be faster, I would have been surprised.
It has proven to be the perfect marriage. It's proven that it has worked with the two high schools. You have Sauk who does not have the numbers without Heights and Wisconsin Heights who does not have a pool but has guys who want to keep swimming.
My belief is a successful taper is what you put into the season. Now it's just a matter of trying to hold on for another week.
Three of these teams that finished ahead of us will probably be in the top five at state.
The practices will be reduced in the intensity and yardage these last three weeks. We rest and hope they can perform at their peak. If they stay healthy we should have a good end of the season.
We are in good company. We are behind probably three of the top five or 10 in the state. Even if the season would have ended today they swam past our expectations. They need time to celebrate and enjoy the moment.
Tyler Evans swam a lifetime best in the 100 fly. It was a good team effort.
It's a great opportunity and a challenge for our guys to be in the water swimming against some of the best guys in the state. Since the competition is so strong it brings out the best in our guys.
Even with our absolute best performances I don't think it would have been enough to knock them off. They (Verona) are just very deep. It was a prelude to the sectional meet.
After the last couple of meets, it comes down to the championship season.
The hard work is pretty much over right now. They need to keep working hard in practice and have faith that things will work out at the end of the season.
