David Marsh Meet Quotations

Today it feels really good, like a relief. It is such an intense meet from top to bottom coming off last week and jumping into the fire this week.

We only had one champion in 2002. And we won the meet very handily. So, you don't always have to have the best individuals. You have to have the best team.

Every championship is different for us. This men's team in particular has come from everywhere and it took all year to bring this team together. The last two months I saw synergy happening within our team and you have to have that at this meet to be successful. I am very proud of how our men stepped up together and we are excited to return another NCAA title home to Auburn University.

This senior class is interesting in that they are from all over the world and their personalities are so different from each other. All eight are fantastic human beings and I couldn't be more pleased with them finishing their dual meet season undefeated. I think we look good going into the championship portion of the season and are fit and prepared.

It's going to be exciting. We not only compete against Texas in the pool, we compete against them in recruiting. This is a big meet for both teams, for the season and for the future.
