He's got pretty good speed. If you see him run, you'll see he's a natural. He looks so good on a track, and he's never been on one before. |
I have seven or eight freshmen girls. All of them will contribute this year, and a couple might be surprises. |
I knew we could come back. They did not give up. That last touchdown drive can be a springboard for us for the rest of the season. |
I see him possibly doing all four at state this year, but he can handle it. |
I think that was the highlight of the meet. He has missed state for three years. To get that pressure off for him is great. |
It was such a beautiful day. The 18 athletes who went had a great experience, since we hadn't seen a track yet. It was spring break, so 18 is about half of them, so that was great. We went down there a day early to practice. |
It will be a tight race at league. |
It's a good starting point. It was her first run of the year. That home stretch was going to hurt anyway, let alone against the wind. |
It's a relay we know we can get to state. Kieran, in frigid cold weather, ran a 53.4 split, which just blew me away. |
Kieran, again, did exceptional. As a matter of fact, he is definitely ahead of last year. For him, after he gets more conditioned and experienced, the leaps he makes are remarkable. |
Kyle Hendrickson is going to be a great surprise. When he ran the four-by-four and open 800, most kids just lose it the first time on a track. He looked strong in the final 200. |
My focus is just to get the kids on the ice. Some play hockey on one end, and I let them free skate on the other end if they want to. |
They are ahead of schedule from last year by about 30 seconds. |
We are going to stick with that and with the girls (1,600-meter relay). I'm excited about that group. |
We can kick it from that distance. We just came up short. |
