Allison Schmitt

Q.  (No microphone.)
ALLISON SCHMITT:  I'm excited for the relay.

Q.  The record and you're going to London.
ALLISON SCHMITT:  I'm excited for it.

Q.  Did you expect to set an American Record today?  Were you feeling good this morning?  How did it feel?
ALLISON SCHMITT:  I was just taking it out, I didn't know how I felt, behind the blocks I was like, oh, but just don't think about it and I went out for it.

Q.  What's it like when you're that far ahead?
ALLISON SCHMITT:  I didn't really look.  I knew it was going to be a tight field, so I was just going for it and trying to hold on.

Q.  What feels better making the team or the American Record?
ALLISON SCHMITT:  Making the team, being able to go to London and representing the USA.

Q.  (No microphone.)
ALLISON SCHMITT:  I knew there was going to be a lot of great competition out there, and I was just excited to be out there.

Q.  (No microphone.)
ALLISON SCHMITT:  She is fast, very fast.

Q.  (No microphone.)
ALLISON SCHMITT:  I didn't feel like I was on my record pace, but I could hear the crowd.
And when I touched and saw theflames go off I was pretty excited before I even looked up and saw the time.

Q.  (No microphone.)
ALLISON SCHMITT:  I'm happy.  It's my best time by a half a second, and I couldn't be happier right now.

Q.  (No microphone.)
ALLISON SCHMITT:  I'm surprised, but I've been having a great training year, and I've been preparing for this.
So I have another race tomorrow, 100 Free, and I'm ready for London.
