It was a great thing to do, great to sweep. It was the first time this has happened. I’ll certainly take it.

We knew from past results we had a pretty good chance to win. None of the teams really surprised me. They performed well as we expected.

We were competitive for the first 500 meters, but we weren’t able to keep up. We need to be better in the finish.

I was very pleased. Almost to a man, we improved on [our times on] the same test we did a couple weeks before.

He too had been on the German junior team in the World Championships before he came here. He has really good physiology, he’s a good athlete. He’s probably a little behind his best time right...

Will has been a solid piece for us. I was pleased with his performance. He’s a very efficient rower for his weight.

Everyone always wants to do better, and we’re getting better every time we do a test. We’re working on our physiology and moving toward working on the water and training with an oar.

It’s like an exam, who’s ever ready for it? You just go in and take it.

We did not capitalize on our lead enough. When they gave us a push we didn’t push back.

We have got a way to go, they are just inexperienced. They will get faster. The more races they compete in, the better they will get.

We know that we have a lot of work to do before the championships in May and June. We have time to get faster.
