Quotes by Dan Flannery

“We have a young team, and our guys faced some adversity early in the meet but turned things around and did what they had to do. Our depth took over, and we won some close races. I was really pleased with the performance coming out of winter break.”

“This has always been a great rivalry. We lost this one, but the guys will wake up tomorrow and the sun will still be shining. We dont have to hear about the (winning) streak anymore; its kind of nice to have that off our backs. Well see Valley again at conference and state.”

“We almost pulled it out. Only .31-hundredths of a second is keeping us from talking about a tie right now.”

“A lot of guys had amazing swims to keep us in the meet.”

“My kids feel vindicated. Losing the dual meet to Valley was rough. They werent too good of sports after beating us, and my kids didnt forget that.”

“What goes around comes around in this sport, I guess.”

“Those three freshmen have a lot of big-meet experience, and thats going to pay off for them. Theyre a lot more mature than freshmen Ive had in the past. Theyre all wildcards for us going into the state meet, but I feel real confident about their abilities. Theyre real focused and positive.”
