Bismarck was really tough, it's the first we've seen of them this season. We showed our inexperience, especially in the fourth and fifth runners. Overall, I was satisfied with how the team performed, but when we learn to do what we can do, we'll run faster.

They ran their own races, ran smart and finished strong to catch the Bismarck runners at the end.

We finished about where I thought we would. We had a lot of personal records and ran faster than we did last week.

We have some deep areas that we're trying to clear a path, but the snow is really hard and tough to move. We're hoping for some warm weather before then. I don't think home field advantage will make much of a difference; conditions will make the biggest difference.

We didn't even realize New Town was ahead of us until after the race. We were too busy watching Minot.

They ran really well, we weren't sure what they had since they haven't run yet, but they looked good.

We didn't know what Moose Jaw had or where they'd run, but we weren't too concerned with them. We were watching the Class A schools and were happy to finish in front of Minot.

We had excellent efforts and we ran a smart race for the mid-80 temperatures.

Dickinson ran a little better (than they had been), and we had two of our top five run where they were supposed to. The good thing is we didn't peak today, and hopefully we still will.
