Gregg Troy Quotations

We had good swims today. We're ready to go, but we've got a little more in the tank than we have the last few years. While the women raced well today, the men raced even better.

I'm really proud of these girls. With all of the adversity we've had to fight through this season and during this meet, they were outstanding.

You couldn't ask for a better role model.

I was really proud of the way they swam this evening. We had a very average morning and it hurt us a little in the team scores. The ones that did get the chance to come back tonight did much better, had better attitudes and just raced better than this morning.

We are going to miss them, but the supporting cast is better because of them. They are just flat-out tough, day-to-day, and they did it with work ethic.

The guy works hard, does what you ask him to do and he is committed every day. It's not a surprise that these things happen. He has trained with this in mind all year, so it's hard not to be ready to go.

I don't plan on being disappointed. We plan on being really good, and obviously we plan on winning.

Ryan is probably the hardest worker we've had the pleasure of coaching at the University of Florida. He listens to instruction well and isn't afraid of taking on a challenge. The most amazing (thing) is that he is the same beach boy as he was when he first came in. Success has not gone to his head one bit.

Ryan is certainly the best swimmer we've ever had at the University of Florida. He holds the school record in both butterfly events, both individual medleys, both of the backstrokes. He's got the freestyle. He's on every relay and could probably hold a few more of our records. He just hasn't had a chance to swim the events.
