Team Captain Nicholas Garrett shares with with us a little on states.

What do you do to get the team ready and pumped?

"What I do to pump my team up is the team cheer as loud as we can to show that our team is here and we’re not here to mess around."

What gets you pumped up for your events and what else are you looking forward to at this championship?

"What gets me pumped up would have to be the cheering of the people before I get on the block. And I’m also looking forward to seeing friends from the other islands."

The Championship will be held this coming weekend December 19 – 22, 2008 at Veterans’ Memorial Aquatic Center on Oahu. GOOD LUCK AND GO DOLPHINS!!!!!
