Scott Meenagh says he executed his punishing pre-race plan to perfection after taking himself to the 'hurt locker' at the Paralympic Games.

"I got in the hurt locker from pretty much the first 100m into the water", said pro Turner. "Then it was just a case of holding on and watching where the other guys are after the dead turns and just trying to gauge how much time I had".

“Excuse our guys. It’s a really emotional locker room there and you can understand why. I thought our guys left their hearts, guts, and everything on the floor and they just came up a little short. Congrats to Villanova. They hung in there and I guess their experience kicked in gear at the end. I thought our guys, defensively, I thought we were there. We know a lead against a Villanova team in the second half, they’re going to make a run. They have been there, they’ve done that. But even with that being said, we had an opportunity to make some plays, we didn’t. They made some plays there at the end. But again, I’ve got a hurt locker room in there. But I can’t say enough. I love those guys – love each and every one of them. I thought they brought it, they brought it. If you watched the team, they just kind of rolled over the whole season. You saw a team that probably could and should have been in the NCAA [Tournament]. But this was our ticket to get in there.”
