Claxton did well in both the 100 and 200. |
Considering the weather, I'm extremely happy with what we did. |
I was most pleased with the team performance as a whole. There were lots of events were we had some relatively green athletes and some others where we didn't know where we would be considering it's the start of the year and all the bad weather. But, we really performed well. This was a really good opening meet for us. |
Logan had a great performance. That is a great number for this early in the year. |
Matt had an outstanding day. He's a freshman and he won both the mile and the two-mile. |
Shank was terrific. Those were outstanding performances. |
The whole team ran well, but with this big of a group of schools, it was not easy to make the top eight. We ran some of our fastest times to get in the top 12 to 15 teams. Some of the best Kansas City and St. Louis schools were there in addition to the best athletes from mid-Missouri. This meet was a major showcase of state-wide track talent for this early in the season. |
They're our leaders. They're the ones who led us last year. They're willing to work. |
Until we get a league up and running, we can't expect to be in the media at home. We need that to get a toe hold. We win just by being here, and if we take away any money, that's a huge help. |
We won both throwing events. I'm really proud of those girls. We haven't done that in a meet in a while. |
