Adam Mitchell, Minnesota
On his victory in the 200-yard IM:
"It was a great swim for me. I felt like our team was down. We knew this was going to be a tough meet, and we needed to get psyched up somehow. I felt like that fell on my shoulders. I am happy to give the team that momentum and hopefully it carries over into tomorrow."
