Comments: "I think he put some pressure on himself early in the season," coach Scott Sweeten said. "He was afraid of letting his teammates down. It took him a while to make the adjustment but lately he has been doing an outstanding job for us." Nop: "I started feeling comfortable about the middle of the season. I think the turning point was a quad meet at Southern Regional and we came back to beat Christian Brothers."
