Conference went as well as it could have gone. At this point, we have more people but not enough in certain areas to win. |
Four days is pretty quick, but generally we don't get that much time between meets. |
Having a field person that doesn't always come to practice isn't as bad as a runner because you really have to be in shape. Field events, there's really no cardiovascular, it's more about skills. |
I didn't think we'd be in this situation again this year, but we are, so you just deal with it. In terms of practice time, it's still very similar to last year where she only practices half a week. |
I think that would increase her distance. Until she gets a little more strength in her legs there's only a certain distance she can reach. |
It's still early. You want them to peak later on. And we don't really jump every practice. A lot of what we do is drills and technique, so it's possible to do that. |
She's just a very mature athlete in terms of knowing when it's time to be serious and knowing when to start preparing early. Some people just go up and try to run. |
The ride back in the car was a very good ride. She was in rare form, just being happy. |
The three days she's here we just practice as hard as we can. |
