Both those girls are helping each other to improve because they're so competitive. |
He's still learning, but once he gets things figured out he could be one of the best distance runners we've had. |
Her and Molly, they are as good of an 800 tandem as we've had. |
I think it was a very good time and it was a nice job by our kids. They're all underclassmen. There's three sophomores and a junior there, and that's what's exciting about it. They're starting to figure some things out. |
I think it was great for her confidence more than anything. She's been looking good in practice and looking better each day in the hurdles. |
I think she feels comfortable in that role of being one of our go-to girls in terms of scoring points. She had some success last year. She got down to state, and that gave her a taste of what's to come. I think she's got maybe some higher expectations of herself this year. |
I think their experience showed a little bit. They're a senior-dominated team. They were in the state championship last year and they know what it takes to get it done. |
I think we lost a little bit of our intensity in the second half. When we lose our intensity and focus like that it is really disappointing because we are a team that prides ourselves on playing hard all four quarters. |
I thought he had a tremendous day and that's what we've been building toward. He's been working really hard and it's starting to pay off for him. |
I thought we played as well as we've played all year in the first half. Then, we played as bad as we have all year in the second. |
I thought, all in all, our boys competed pretty hard. |
I was very pleased with her effort and the way she's competing now. She's got that confidence. |
It allowed us to kind of regroup and slow their momentum down. It wasn't like we were going to stall for the next 11 minutes. It was just a matter of us regrouping and it was like a really long timeout. |
It forces kids to immediately be competitive and forces them to know that we can't just be satisfied with a sixth-place finish. We need to try to get that fourth-place finish or that third-place finish. |
Our defense let down. We just did not have that same intensity or same energy that we had. For about 2 1/2 minutes there they made a run and we did not answer at the offensive end. |
