“I was kind of surprised (to be top-seeded in both). But it's my senior year, and there's nothing to hold me back this year. Just go all-out, all the way.”
“I've always liked the 50 - I never had much endurance. I was kind of a 200 free person for a while when I was 12 or 13. I did the 200 free, 200 back, 200 fly. But as I got older, I fell away from it and started doing the shorter stuff.”
“I've focused on it a lot this year because I started to fall behind on it. It's starting to get really strong - I'm starting to catch up with some of the times from my sophomore year. It was somewhat of a surprise how much my improvement came up so quickly.”
“My turn was good, but the timing wasn't right, and that kind of took me off. I was a bit surprised (by Jack's time). But definitely, it'll give me something to shoot for tomorrow. I'm feeling pretty good right now.”
