What they’re saying

“For me it was about getting conference championships. It was about being the best team out there and doing whatever I could for my teammates. I never worried about how fast I did, if it was a record. I mean it was a shocker to me to hear all that after all of these years. I think I did some pretty special things. I just didn't know how special they were until today.”
