Coach Bryant told us the fact that we didn't have any votes on the East Coast was his fault. We didn't have the integration of other teams. |
Consistency is going to make the difference. There's going to be a lot of jumbling in our region as we turn that corner and find more consistency. At the beginning of the season, some of these young teams are just trying to get into the flow of the game. It's especially hard on young pitchers, who pitch Monday and Tuesday and then don't pitch again until the following Wednesday because of the weather. It's just tough to get into the flow. |
He had one particular good jump at 15 (feet). He still isn't quite sure where to put the standards when he gets up that high. |
I have really enjoyed working with those three seniors. |
I thought 'Wally' looked real good. He won by a considerable margin. He did it kind of easily. |
I thought Trent ran a good race. It was 7:30 at night and still above 80 degrees so it was pretty hot to run. Some kids who laid back early ran a little better and Trent kind of pushed himself a little. I'm happy that he placed. He will run better if he gets in better condition. |
I thought when we came into the meet, we had an outside shot to win six or seven events and we won five. I don't think we've won that many events here in a while. That's pretty good. |
It has become a tradition here. Some high school kids have become intrigued about Northern because of it. |
It was a good run for Jeremy, not quite what he wanted. The provisional qualifying time is 31:10 so he just missed that. |
It was cold and cloudy and as the day went on it got nicer. I thought our running event marks got better as the day went on. |
It was good day. I was pleased with what we did. |
It's just good to be outside and kind of figure out where you're at. We haven't seen them in a meet for five weeks. |
Jake always trains hard. He trained hard in high school and trained hard as a freshman. He just has a lot of belief in himself. He had a really good indoor season and I think it carries over. Sometimes athletes just get on a roll. He's in a zone. That's just the way it is for him right now and it's just working. |
Jake had a great meet. We kind of ran him to death, too. |
Jenny Betz had a really good hurdles race. She's worked pretty hard on that. |
