I thought they would get in, but I told them this is based on time and the best times will be up at states. I think this way is the most fair.
I think overall, we did pretty well. This was a rather young team and they overcame quite a few obstacles during the season. It is always good to finish up with a finals swim at states.
The one quality I will always remember about Eric was his fierce competitiveness ... he was not afraid to race anyone, at any stroke, at any distance. I encourage all of our competitors to go out and race with this quality in mind.
That's what you want to do. You want to start peaking this time of year. He certainly is.
