We had a really good meet. Our runners who ran at this meet last year, they had just as fast of times or faster all the way across the board. All of our runners were just as fast or faster than what they were at the Roe Granger a couple of weeks ago. Both teams showed considerable improvement.
With the runners we have returning, and some of the new runners we have coming in, we have a very good chance of being in the top two on both sides.
Matt is going to be a force to be reckoned with in the conference again this year. He had a great summer and is probably in the best shape of his life. I look for him to be a strong contender for another individual conference title.
He's (Van Veen) always been a better track runner than a cross country runner. Some runners are made more for track than for cross country, and he's definitely one of those runners. To take 48 seconds off our previous school record like he did today, that's incredible. Especially considering that he did it at a meet like this.
The distance runners are running really well right now. Overall, it was just a fantastic weekend for us. Out of the five events we competed in, we had four personal bests, two school records and a provisional national qualifying mark. The real reason we came here was to run fast and throw far, and we did that this weekend.
Jeremy had a pretty good run. The weather was really nice. Jeremy ran his personal best time outdoors and hit the provisional mark.
