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.

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.

Our goal was to try to beat Milton. We fell a little short of beating Milton.

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.

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...

Verona has kind of become a rival for us.

He was just three tenths of a second away from breaking the school record in the 100 fly.

After the last couple of meets, it comes down to the championship season.

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.
