You never know what can happen. I feel like I have a pretty good chance, but you never know.

It just meant a lot because it's something I've always wanted to do. I've always wanted to be a Senior National Champ. I was Junior National Champ in 2002, so now to be the senior champ is great.

I think were all really strong and we just need to keep working really hard. If we go out there and do our best well win again. All we need to do is hit.

In like a dimwit, out like a light.
