(The first three boys) ran as a pack the whole way. They did what they were supposed to do and they pushed each other the whole time. They ran as hard as they needed to. |
Every one of my top seven runners had their best time of the year tonight. Our three through five runners dropped a full minute. That's where our boys program was at four years ago. |
Flury was just phenomenal. You put a freshman in the 2-mile who has never run the 2-mile, and he goes under 11 minutes. You don't run under 11 minutes the first time you run the 2-mile. |
Galen's really talented. He's our fastest sophomore ever. |
He set it Tuesday and he re-set it tonight. The record had been standing since 1983. |
I was very impressed. We ran a hard workout on Thursday. We ran seven miles. I thought they'd do OK, but I knew we ran hard two days before. I never thought they'd run well enough to win state. |
I'm kind of running out of quotes for those guys. They've just gotten to a level that's above what you're used to seeing. As for anything different they did, they just did what they've been doing all year. |
Marcus has never beaten his brother before. He beat him today. |
We had a real strong one, two and three man today. It's nice to see that third man running a lot closer than the other two. We've been waiting on that all year. |
We were thinking he had just an average day, but he ran a 17:36. That's great. That's where you want to be. He would have been our second fastest runner on our team that went to state two years ago. |
We've never done that before. Our kids are good with leadership and they set good examples. They get good results and because of that, more kids come out to run. |
