U.S. TEAM OLYMPIC TRIALS: SWIMMINGJune 29, 2012Kathleen HerseyOMAHA, NEBRASKA Q. (No microphone.) KATHLEEN HERSEY: She's one of a kind, so my goal going into it was to get my hand on the wall first or second and I gave myself a way to do that, and, you know, this was not a smart race. I didn't swim it the way I should have, but when you get yourself into this nervous state it's hard to get out of. All the breathing exercises and all the yoga I could do only help to a certain point, and I'm so grateful to have another opportunity to represent the USA in such an honorable manner and with such a great girl next to me. I couldn't be more thankful for the personalities in the 200 Fly. We have a great group going. Q. You really fought the nerves here, and in '08 you fought 'em, too, I know you talked about that. KATHLEEN HERSEY: Yeah, and also I felt like there was more than just swimming on the line. I recently lost my mom and I felt like that was weighing heavy on my heart and I felt like this wouldn't happen if there wasn't a reason, and I felt her presence so much today. All I wanted to do after my 100 fly was give her a big hug, but the relationship has changed and it's much more intimate now, because she is a part of who I am. I'm so grateful‑‑ I'm so sorry, I'm hitting my help! (Laughter.) I'm so grateful to have such a wonderful group of athletes going with me and having the Texas team behind me, Camille is Texas A&M, so Texas girls unite in the butterfly. Q. You guys aren't supposed to be friends; you're rivals, right? KATHLEEN HERSEY: Oh, we can't help it. She's too nice! FastScripts Transcript by ASAP Sports |
