Fantastic - that's the only way to describe tonight. Our fourth All-American in school history - fourteenth and fiftheenth honrable mentions, a pair of school records but most of all a learning experience.
Sure we scored a lot of points yesterday, just ten shy of our team NCAA record, but most importantly I think the guys realized what you need to do in this type of meet. Stephen did it in Prelims. He shied away from it at night (but hey he still moved up). No worries, he learned from it. Zach came up a little short in the morning, but learned and he and Steve dominated the consol heat. As he knows, though, it's far more fun to be on a lower step of the champ heat than the top step of the consol heat. That gets you one of those little pieces of wood (above).
