All four ran solid times. It was a nice relay. Marcus and John are seniors, so it's nice for them. |
At the end of the year he was getting good looks at 6-feet. |
Beth is an all-around sprinter ? she trains in so many different things that if she focused on any of them she could be elite, but she likes moving around. |
He has a lot of talent and is working very hard. He's been impressive all season. He definitely has a lot of potential. |
He's shown a lot. He's run our best time in the 55 and the 200. He's looking quite strong. |
I have some very good athletes on the team. I'd like to see the guys go five hundred in the conference. That would be a great step for them. If they could go five hundred and then bring all those guys back, that would be a good step for us. We can look at that as a year of progress. |
It's a good number (10), but I'd like to have a couple more. The fact that of the 10, I should have nine back next year is progress in itself. Numbers aren't an issue. |
Nicole will be busy ? she'll see four events. As good an athlete as Nicole is, Mahon is having a phenomenal season. But Nicole is right there. |
Our hope on the girls side for the four relays is for all of them to medal. We think they all have the potential to finish in the top 10 ? hopefully in the top six. For the boys, we're hoping for a fairly high finish for both. None of them are seniors ? they're all juniors and down. We still think we can get top-15 finishes from them. Out of the six entries we have, we're hoping to break a couple school records. |
That's given me enough girls to score on a given day, but it gives me no leeway. I have the bodies, but I don't have the talent yet. |
That's what we're going to focus on next year, is promoting the sport in the middle-school level. That's all fine, but that's a year off. We're just trying to keep the program together until we can get something going. We'd like to be competitive. We don't want to be just throwing bodies out there. |
The two teams are in different places. The girls are senior heavy and talented. The boys have raw talent. We don't know which way it'll go, but we'll be deeper with the boys. |
This group is very talented, but with the spring there are more events and you can only spread the kids so far, so depth will be an issue. We have a handful of young girls who are working very hard, but it's not the talent level we've gotten in the past. We don't know if they will be impact people or not. They are probably a year away. |
We can move Nicole a little bit. |
We felt if we focused on breaking school records, that will lead to our improvement in the meets. It's been successful. The kids have been using them as goals. A lot of them are newer, so they're very attainable goals to set out to break a school record. |
