[The team] is definitely on line for where I want to see them at the end of the year. I think we did an excellent job tonight. I was happy to see people come back from break in good shape. They did all their workouts over break and had a good showing today. |
I was expecting our athletes to do their best and be competitive. |
I was surprised we did as well as we did. We basically sent a split squad there. |
I'm surprised with how high the women finished. |
It has the reputation as a fast track. It's a top-of-the-line place and arguably the best in the Northeast. It's also nice to have on a cold or rainy day, just for practice. |
She did great. Especially considering that she fell twice and still won. She's a competitor. |
She showed incredible patience. She didn't get down on herself and was able to move from sixth to second on her last jump. She did what she had to do and came through when it counted. She also posted the fastest split for the 4 x 400-meter team. |
She's got a few races to run and the long jump. So she'll be pretty tired when it's all over. |
The relays did well considering they both had to deal with injuries. Both teams had a fill-in run, both of which aren't normally on the relay. But the fill-ins did well. |
The throwers went so they could finally compete in their events. During the indoor season they never get the chance to compete. The runners that went just wanted to run against some America East competition, to get better prepared for the season. |
They made a lot of tactical errors in the race. They weren't in a good position for the break, but I'm optimistic for the rest of their season. |
We didn't even know the meet was going to be scored when we first went. So we weren't really trying to win. |
We go into most races expecting to win. I know that can't happen all the time, and when it doesn't we deal with that. We have strong enough teams to win conference championships this year. |
We had a couple of young ladies running a little tired from previous races in the day. But we'll see, hopefully we can still get into nationals. The ladies have been doing a good job. |
We have a couple of other opportunities to run fast and make strides with the New England Championships and the ECAC Championships coming up. |
