So far in the last three meets, he’s had personal bests. That’s what you’re looking for, especially in the distance events.

I was pleased. Watertown had a tough team and we gave them a run for their money. They took off on us in the breaststroke – they had four guys who were really strong –...

He wanted to be seeded No. 1, but I like the position he’s at. He can accomplish anything he puts his mind to. He’s very positive with what he wants to accomplish and that’s more...

I’m very happy with the year – especially with the size of my team.

He’s sitting good in the second heat. It should be a good race.

He was our ironman tonight. So far, he’s having a great year. He always gives me 100 percent every time out there.

That was one of our goals, to get him to the (medal) podium this year. I thought he swam a really good race. There’s not much more I could ask out of him.

I should have held out for that.

I think he has a very good chance at it.

He’s an extremely hard worker. He’s always looking forward to that 500. It’s the race he loves to do.

It was sweet revenge. Chuck ran him down, but he almost ran out of gas.

All in all, we swam pretty well going into sectional week. We’re right on track where we need to be.

Our No. 1 goal is to get as many as we can to state. Second, we want everybody to get a personal-best or season-best times.
