Shari Walling Quotations

We're looking forward to . . . a great state meet. It's not enough to get there, we want to score some points.

We've very excited to host our district meet. Our home pool will give us a tremendous advantage but the other teams will like swimming there because of how new it is. It's well-lit and deep and has a lot of other benefits of a newer pool.

We were disappointed we didn't place higher, but you can't control how other people swim. It's surprising when you qualify in 10 of the 11 events and not to place higher.

We're looking to continue building our youth program and to have swim camps that draw different coaches to teach specialty strokes.

He got sick right before districts (Feb. 11), and he did a nice job of being able to drop in the 500. His IM was not his lifetime best, which was disappointing to him because he feels he's an all-around swimmer.

Patrick didn't let the bronchitis he is coming off of slow him down. He's a very tough competitor and he made sure we scored the points we needed to win the meet.

That's the ultimate goal of the team. They're going to have to be prepared both mentally and physically.

Our seniors have shown the younger swimmers what it takes to be successful. The seniors have allowed us to establish a tradition.
