“I thought today we came out a little bit stronger than yesterday, which is a good sign because for championship meets, you have prelims and finals. So, last night was kind of like finals in the evening and prelims in the morning. I thought for a morning racing opportunity, it was really good. It was a good weekend overall. We’re in a good spot, and so for October, we’re really happy with where the team is, and we are excited for the next phase of training and for the next meet coming up in November. Each meet we’re getting a little better, which is what we want.”
