Most memorable moment: The dual meet at Cal in 2008. It was an awful day in Berkeley because it was cold and rainy. The women's team came together that morning and got fired up in a way I've never seen before. Literally putting mind over matter. The team stayed warm and focused and won both the men's and women's scores.

What makes Arizona so special?: The team spirit in training. Every athlete will give his/her best in and out of the pool to achieve the team's goals at the end of the season. If someone is having a bad day in training, the whole team would get behind that person and motivate him/her to still give a 110%.
