TRAMEL TALK
Coach Bill Tramel on the meet:
"We are very pleased with tonight. We blitzed them early and got out to a huge lead. At that point, we almost could have put it in cruise control, but instead we kept up the intensity level."
"Thirty season bests tonight tells the story. We have performed well this season, especially against Cincy and VMI. Champion teams go hard regardless of the score. That's what we are trying to foster here. There can be no let ups."
"We intentionally scheduled back-to-back to prepare for conference championships, our main goal. We have one of the fastest pools in the country again tomorrow, with 16 feet deep water. That promotes fast swimming. We need to make the most of that. I know we will."
