COACH’S QUOTE: “He struggled through some injuries and really showed what kind of person he is in terms of working through that. He’s probably the most competitive athlete I’ve ever coached. He really improved in his maturity. He had a shoulder injury and in swimming that can be fatal, but he stayed on top of therapy, doing what he needed to get better. That right there shows the maturity.”
