It's obviously good to win. It really wasn't our goal to win, it was our goal to compete hard and get better. It was a chance to see what we need to improve on and what we are doing well.

It will be nice for our kids to sleep in their own bed and race on their own track. More than anything, it will be good for our kids to gain some experience and maybe improve on some things.

I like our team a lot. We've got a lot of talented kids, but we need to stay focused and keep going with what we need to do and that's win a conference title.

Steven is our top thrower. He did well and started his year off well. He's one of our leaders.

If one of our kids wins an event, your looking at a potential All-American. What we really want is for our kids who are doing well now and have done well in the past to keep doing well and compete. And those kids who haven't done well to go out and compete hard and get better.

Overall, this meet was good to reaffirm the kids that we could potentially have a good team this year if we continue to work. We've got several All-Americans on this team that I think have improved over last year.

It was a glorified training meet. We wanted to make progress and we did.

She's picked up where she left off last year. She's the best distance runner in the conference.

It will be a good way to get our feet wet. We are definitely going to see some tough competition, but we have prepared well in practice, and I think we are going to see that in the performance.
