"The crab was a boat-stopper," captain John Roberts said. "It was early, but things were going our way. We were racing exactly how we wanted at that point."
"We scrambled to recover as quickly as we could, but in championship racing there is really no room for errors," Roberts said. "After the crab, we could not even get close to the leaders."
"We entered the whole event very focused on the single task of winning the finals," Roberts said. "We only did what was necessary to qualify in our heat. We put it all on the line in the afternoon and then we beat ourselves."
"If we are going to go, [coach] Charlie Butt will have to get permission from the other schools involved," Roberts said. "Knowing some of the coaches, however, I think they will allow it."
