"Even though I think we can dive much better than we did today, I think how we respond and learn from this meet will determine how successful meet was for us. We continued to train and make changes throughout the competition and our focus remains on the SEC and NCAA Championships. Confidence will be the key to our success and hopefully this experience will add to our confidence level moving forward."
