Brendan Hansen Quotations

I will be close to my record tomorrow night,

Tonight we had a team meeting and said, 'This is going to be a red-line meet,'

Following last night's race I think this was a classic case of seeing what you did wrong and fixing it for the next time in the pool.

As far as getting up for the meet and getting excited, Mutual of Omaha did a great job of setting up the venue, so the atmosphere around the pool and from the people in the stands didn't reflect that we were up by so much. Their energy really carried us through.

It was nice to be swimming next to (Canadas) Mike Brown, because I knew the crowd was screaming for him, but I took some of the energy like it was for me. It was fun swimming tonight, and tomorrow looks to be even better.

I walked away from 2004 knowing I didn't swim my own race. This time, I didn't look around and panic. I kept my blinders on. . . . Overall, it went really well. The Texas guys started swimming fast and then everyone did.

The last 50 wasn't there like I was hoping it would be, ... I'll take the win.

I love the support from the crowd. I just felt driven when every time I came out of the water the crowd was shouting and cheering me on.
