Today was a great end to an amazing and successful season.  Both of us swam our favorite events this morning; not only did we feel great in the water, but we also swam best times.  Ending an intense meet like Nationals in this manner has allowed us to recognize why we have put so much time and effort into swimming.

 

We have come to realize and strongly believe that our achievements correspond directly to the devotion and guidance that our coaches, Brian and Kevin, have given us.  Without their humor and enthusiasm our team would not have survived.  For all of the years that they have had to tolerate our good days and our bad days, we would like to dedicate our success to these two outstanding coaches for their love and support!
