An amazing night at the U.S. Olympic Trials produced 11 brand new Olympians but left plenty of wily veterans on the short end of the stick. The exuberant and the frustrated all walked through the mixed zone tonight, and here’s a sampling of what they had to say.
Townley Haas on Texas putting three swimmers on the 800 free relay: “It’s incredible. You have the two greatest coaches in the world, Eddie [Reese] and Kris [Kubik], training us, pushing us. I swim next to, or behind Clark [Smith] every day. I guess it’s just not that surprising, knowing how hard we work and how great of coaches they are and—but it’s just incredible for me and all three of us to be able to represent our school in the Olympics.â€
Katie Meili on making her first Olympic team: “Rush of emotion, extreme happiness, extreme gratitude, disbelief. I never thought I would be here, so it’s really special… I need to work on that swim because that time won’t cut in in Rio, but just hoping to enjoy the experience. Now I can take a deep breath, take the pressure off and really enjoy it.â€
Ryan Murphy on what he saw during 100 back final: “In prelims and semis I was looking at the Jumbotron a lot. Finals I didn’t look at it at all, so I mean all I could see was splashes, and I didn’t know, like, whether it was coming from their arm going over or hitting the water, so I knew it was tight; I saw that off the turn, but I never knew I had it.â€
