Three of these teams that finished ahead of us will probably be in the top five at state.
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.
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.
Tyler Evans swam a lifetime best in the 100 fly. It was a good team effort.
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.
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.
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.
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.
