"I am very happy with the season," Goetze said. "My only regret is that I didn't produce the time that I am worth. I feel like I could have possibly run a 2:06 or 2:07. I was sort of expecting to run faster than a 2:08:99. But my main goal was All-American and that goal has been achieved."
For Carswell, the preliminary heat also took its toll. In the final, the sophomore could only leg out a seventh place finish.
"I didn't feel so well in the final," said Carswell, who is the first male indoor track All-America since 1987. "I think I could have done a little better if I had run to my potential. Unfortunately, my legs didn't have it on the day."
The race was a typical championship race--starting off slowly and finishing in a burst.
"It was a pretty tactical race," Carswell said. "That's usually the race goes at Championships like this. The times were a little slower than they could have been."
Nevertheless, the sophomore is pleased with his performance.
"Looking at the season in general, I am happy with the seventh," Carswell said.
And, as for the little "All-America." but not American problem, the Canada-native doesn't care.
"I know what the title means," Carswell said. "The term American--I don't think about it much. I just know what it represents as far as achievement goes."
