Those kids have gone through a lot to get where they're at now. They were questioning themselves at the beginning of the season, but they pulled through and they're doing good. We've had a great week of practice and that makes me feel 10 times better. It's been a productive week and we're ready.

I knew that was going to happen after I watched everybody in Abilene and what they did. Overall I'm pleased with our performances and that's what we were worried about.

I thought things were really looking good in a lot of different areas in the field events because we have at least one person who's strong in everything. But everyone else in the district now has come along, so it's a matter of getting out and doing our best. I think we're ready, and now we've just got to step out there and get serious and get after it.

I hope that we show up to perform. I'm planning on it, and if we do, I think we're right there in the middle of it. I feel pretty good about it.

We should have somebody in every race. I think I can get somebody to the finals in every race and they've just got to perform.

The main thing I'm the most proud of is we competed. That's one thing I didn't feel like we've really been doing that well this season and we did. We showed up and we worked on times, got them down, and we were in the top three all day until the mile relay. But I'm still happy with the performance.
