Coach Robinson's Quotes Following The LSU Meet
Oct 3, 2014 | Women's Swimming and Diving
Overall thoughts on the meet
"We were good. It was fun being back in our home pool here and it was a good start to the home-meet season. We're better than we were last week, so that was an improvement. Across the board, we were a lot better - especially in our distance events. They did a good job in that. Some of the standouts were Mia winning both of her events - which was great. We also had a couple of people with lifetime-best times, which I was not expecting. That was great and we had a lot of other good swims. I think we're still tired from training and that showed up a little bit here. Throughout the meet, they got a little bit tired and we'll work to make that better in the future. I think that also comes with this time of the season which is when we're training so hard."
On swimming at home
"It was so great. Thank you so much to our fans. It was really a fun and rowdy crowd. The girls definitely feel that energy and it helps them out a huge amount."
On what it means to swim a quality foe like LSU
"There's a lot of history in this rivalry. They're an SEC program and they provide very tough competition, but like I've said before, I've never been afraid to swim against tough competition because that challenges everybody across the board. It was great to win a couple of events today."
On what she takes from this meet
"We'll take some of the feedback split-wise and trying to figure out some better strategies for some of them and how we can swim them a little bit better. We saw some improvement in that, so we're working in the right direction. We'll also work on our toughness and just getting our hand on the wall when we need to. We need to work on some turns here and there. All of these things, we're going to improve on."
