Noah Bullard, Seymour swimming, senior
Accomplishments this past week: won at the Hoosier Hills Conference in the 200 individual medley in a time of 2:05.68 and placed second in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 1:02.43.
How were you able to perform to your fullest potential this past week?
“Conference is our preview for sectionals. So I’m swimming a bit tired right now, but I prepare for championship season by spending extra time on my technique and putting in more work on my starts and turns. A lot of the actual speed training we do is already done, so you have to rest up and work on the little things.”

What did you do well?
“I always come out strong in the butterfly portion of the 200 IM because I know my backstroke splits aren’t as fast. I’d say that’s definitely the best part of my race.”
Do you do anything special to prepare?
“In swimming, consistency is key. So I approach every meet the same way from a dietary standpoint. Carbs the night before, a banana and some Gatorade for breakfast that morning. As far as practice goes, we spend a bit more time working out starts and turns.”

How were you able to perform to your fullest potential this past week?

What did you do well?
“My shots have really been falling for me this past few weeks, and that’s something I have worked on since last season was my shooting.”
