We were really excited about his semifinal performance. His experience of competing against some of the best runners in the world was good for him. That will set him up to do well at the conference and national championships.

Bubba Thornton

There were some good runners there. I think we'd have come in maybe sixth or seventh overall if all the top 3A schools were there. We just need to keep bumping it up and improving.

Dayl Wood

We're hitting, but we're not able to get the hits with runners on base. We've lost a few one-run games lately, and it has been tough.

Ronnie Wulf

Leg speed is one of those things your either born with or not. But endurance is something that you can work on and get better at. I try to design workouts that cover both new and experienced runners.

Brandon Bates

Our front-runners are pretty good.

Del Hessel

Those Wellesley girls are very loud, very friendly and very supportive. One of the runners helped me out. He told me to get to the left side and plug your ears.

Michael Rosa

You hit first or second, you know they're going to come at you because they don't want anybody on base when he comes up. If he comes up with runners on base, they want to pitch around him and go after Holliday or myself. Having him in there changes the whole dynamic of the team.

Garrett Atkins

The nuts and bolts are all in place, ... Getting runners knowledgeable about the event is just starting now.

Robert Sweeney

We're pretty strong, especially the top three. We just have to get the rest in, which will play itself out during the season. When we have two returning runners who made state, we have a pretty good chance.

Daniel Gonzalez

We have some really amazing runners - girls who, once they get going, can just blow by people, and that will help us a lot against Ohio State. But we've also been working all year on defense, and we've gotten really good at it. Our goal-line defense was really good all year, better than I've seen it since I've been here.

Phoebe Boone

This game boiled down to us beating ourselves. They scored a pair of unearned runs and we left way to many base runners stranded. We had our chances and couldn't get the clutch hitting we needed.

Dan Hoffa

I was pleased with our runners, just across the board in different events. In field events, we had good individual efforts, but we're still looking to have rounded team efforts.

Scott Brooker

Our guys had some good swings with runners in scoring position. It was real important to answer after we came out a little shaky in the top of the first.

Greg Wakefield

Well, I suppose most of the places I've been we've tried to balance out what we're doing. I've always been blessed with good runners. Michael Anderson (Denver Broncos) had a pretty good game (Monday night) against the Chiefs. He was one of my guys.

Ron Mcbride

Looking at how we can interchange runners in the relays, and with Dante in the long jump and hurdles, I can see us qualifying six or seven for state. Ten or 12 might be a stretch, but you want to set your goals high.

Jason Goings

We are down (numbers) a little bit from last year. We had 28 runners last season.

Matt Seeley

We have come a long way in five years. We have added some great people who happen to be fast runners and we should finish under 21 hours and in the top 25.

Doug Horn

We're looking for him to have a good year. He's one of our captains, he takes charge in the huddle. He throws the ball very accurately and he's probably one of our two or three best runners.

Bob Schneider

It was nice to see us come out again (offensively). We've been swinging the bats well. We sent six batters up in the first and pushed two runs across. We had runners stranded in every inning but the fifth, so we had opportunities. I'm really pleased with our performance.

Bob Grimes

You need to nibble around the edges with these guys and we did make quality pitches when we had to, with runners on base.

Jon Deeble

We'd been very fortunate not to leave runners on so far this year. But we let some opportunities pass (Monday). If we'd been able to scratch a run or two early, maybe it might have changed the game.

George Hansen

How can we ignore two of our most courageous runners who continued on with conviction and grace in spite of the most dreadful disease ever known: cancer. Sean Delaney and Steve Hancock must always be mentioned in the same breath as all the greats. Sean finished with honor and Steve continues his run. Both remind us that simply being able to run is what this is all about.

Nick Checker

We won't be represented in the Irish Champion. But we will certainly have runners at Doncaster.

Simon Crisford

They had seven hits and we had six. The difference was we didn't execute with runners on base when we needed to. We felt like one or two runs could win this game for us.

Sonja Broyles

The relays are always super exciting. Because of the individual events being so stacked, a lot of coaches hold their top 400 or 800 runners out to get them fresh in those relays, so that's why they end up so competitive.

Harry Groves

Wow. That should tell you how we played right there. Leaving that many runners on base is never a good sign. We pride ourselves on pitching and defense. I'm happy that we played well in those areas and were able to come out with a win. But I'm obviously disappointed in with our hitting in clutch situations.

Justin Machado

The fact that they were more physical, they could establish anything they wanted on the football field. They have two strong backs. They are strong runners, and we didn't do a good enough job against that.

John Barton

She had a couple jams early, but they didn't hit her hard. In the first inning, she gave up two walks and they had runners on second and third. But, definitely, her pitches weren't missing by much.

Ralph Remus

She throws the ball really well from behind the plate. She is young and still has a lot to work on, but she definitely can do a good job of picking off runners.

Ted Mcintyre

We were a little stiff. We made some errors and couldn't seem to get runners on base.

Wendy Massey

Most of those runners are bringing family and friends with them. We get a lot of people coming into town for the marathon and it just fills everything up from Mesquite to Cedar City.

John Bradley

It's gotten to the point where American runners only show up to American-only prize money races. It's not really complicated. They won't show up unless you pay them, or it's an American-only prize money race.

Frank Shorter

We did a good job of advancing runners and keeping the ball in play. It was tough. Their pitcher (Holt) has an odd pitch. He has that palm ball. These kids don't see much of that.

Charlie Puleo

There's a stream crossing that can be waist-deep, and there's mud that can be almost mid-calf deep. (The runners) are in the woods. Their feet never touch pavement.

Tony Godino

This week was different from last week as we were running with top teams and top runners in the country. She was able to run a good race and handle the pressure very well. She is running with expectations of being successful and she should continue to improve. Overall, she is just an overall good runner at any distance and we are lucky to have her.

Scott Jones

Chris is also one of our fastest 400 runners. He's got great range.

Tom Patten

If he stays healthy, he could be among the top 10 runners in the state meet. He?s that high caliber of a runner.

George Patrylak

We were able to advance runners around the bases with some big timely hits for the win. This win was a big one for us as it puts us back in the playoff picture.

Judy Smith

We are struggling getting guys in. We had runners all over the place and guys aren't scoring. Leaving guys on base is not something that sits well in my bones. We have to fix that and get guys in and be aggressive.

Darrell Butler

We had scoring opportunities, but we didn't take advantage of them. We didn't advance runners when we needed to, and we tried to put runners in motion but it didn't work out.

Butch Hobson

These guys have done an awesome job. They've rallied together, and coming out here to win the city championship is just attributed to all the runners. It's not the best we can run; we'll have to do better at sectionals, but we'll be ready.

Chad Wetzel

Like many excellent runners, Sadat had his dreams of becoming a sprinter, but soon learned he needed a little distance to do his best. He was already a middle distance runner when he came to us.

Clarence Williams

All [of the] team has to step up ... of course our kids who are experienced - we have an Olympic Champion, we have a National Champion, we have runners-up, I believe they will step up to take those freshmen [on a] ride [of] excellence.

Janusz Bednarski

We have five guys returning that were All-West Region runners last year. A good core of our team from last year.

Gary Towne

This year, we've played good defense, and we're playing well together. We weren't bringing runners home early in the season.

Bernard Victor

They (Charlotte) just outplayed us. We had lots of chances early in the game and left too many runners on base. And that always comes back to haunt you.

Clyde Metcalf

She's just another runner out there, another person I have to chase down. Everyone out there wants to be the best. I have to look at the other runners and think about all the work that I put in.

Alexa Renstrom

I think we really used each other to set the pace and worked off each other. It really benefits us that all of our runners run close to each other.

Travis Boccher

Coming off the preseason we had some injuries so we just chose to put our girls in JV because it's early in the season. We had three of our top seven runners out and a few still recovering.

Brian Recktenwald

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

Clint Chamberlin

One guy doesn't get it done, then the next guy doesn't get it done, and now pretty soon they are all kind of in the same boat where they can't get them in. Hopefully we can take care of that with some veterans, [who are] used to getting runners in and they won't panic.

Joe Vavra

Even though he's not considered one of the front-runners, he's doing everything he can to get to state.

Rob Hermann

I thought the first runner was safe, but he was called out, and that changed the whole complexion of the inning. We were just trying to be aggressive and make something happen. Our runners just left a little early.

Craig Jones

Over 60 percent of runners are from Utah.

John Bradley

I thought our bullpen competed today. I like the way our bullpen came out today behind and instead of letting it compound, they stopped it. We brought guys in with runners in scoring position and they got us out of it and that's how we won the game.

Gary Mcclure

We knew going into the season that Andy and Nick would be two of our strongest runners.

Mike Zimmerman

It was a great game. They hit the gaps and we didn't. That's the difference in the ball game. We left runners on base.

Renee Leake

They're so quick and athletic. They make shots that our guys can't make. They make the runners and the floaters, and it's tough to make those kinds of shots.

Paul Brogan

Everyone was a little bit tired and the weather was very cold. Even so, I'm proud of the way we hit the ball. I'm very happy for the girls. We felt we could bring anyone in and get hits and bring runners in.

Larry Revoir

We definitely had some of the best runners at the meet. But we wore our kids out because they participated in so many events and the other schools had more athletes to choose from. I am proud of how all of them did in the meet.

Heath Gibson

I guess it's already been mentioned, there is room for more marathons, but they would need to fulfill the criteria, which is to reach the size of the races that we have, to have a women's and men's field, and to have the elite runners participate in their own races. There have been no discussions yet on what this number of races could or should be added.

Mark Milde

She caught Tiara a little over the summer to get ready for this year. She's been great. She has a rifle arm and she's throwing runners out.

Tom Eagleson

River running opportunities will be outstanding this year. However, river runners should use caution. Water levels could be very high during the peak flow period and also carry debris from recent forest fires.

Ron Abramovich

We had runners on base in the following innings, but we just couldn't get them in.

Russell Brann

Her instructions were to stay back and when people started to falter, she made her move. Once she was ahead, I knew no one would catch her. The other runners looked like they were wearing down, and she looked like she was just warming up.

Ralph White

We're obviously disappointed we weren't able to continue when we had a chance to win the game. At times, we played very well, but we needed to do some little things better. We stranded a lot of runners, and while we didn't make a lot of errors, they came at costly times.

Brian Moler

It is the absolute thrill of a lifetime to have coached these kids when they were little and then to see how they've matured as individuals and as runners.

Angie Williams

We like to play small ball. Our goal is to get the bat on the ball and move the runners around.

Leroy Gonzalez

We haven't really hit the ball that well this season. The last time we played DeLand, we went 0-9 with runners in scoring position. This was an important win for us because any district win is important.

Rob Hammond

Zach had a great race for us as he mixed in with some of the top runners in the state.

Sean Mcmahon

I liked throwing out base runners.

Ruddy Lugo

All of these runners are great. This is just a phenomenal group of students. I see the love that they have for running and that's a special breed. There are really dedicated to the sport and they've been very helpful to me.

Jennifer Hinson

She had good movement and we couldn't get on top of her. But we left a lot of runners in scoring position.

Dana Fiedler

We won the race on our No. 3 and No. 4 runners. Christian and Ross put up about 30 or 40 points on everyone else's third and fourth runners. That was key.

Kelly O'meara

We left a lot of runners on base.

John Sumner

We were having a problem not getting runners around when we got base runners on. But we came around.

Ashley Womack

He has the ability to be the top runner in our conference, and if he can stay healthy he can be one of the top runners in the country.

Mark Phillips

I'm pleased with the way our runners ran. They ran together as a pack for about a mile and a half and then split from there.

Dave Redden

I think they're both a couple of the best runners in the country.

Doug Speck

The combination of R.J. and Ryan worked last year because they complement each other so well. They are different types of runners who can block and catch the ball.

Mike Sirianni

We're definitely still learning about the Big East, it's a very tough conference. Right now, I'd like to see our distance runners finish in the top half of the conference, but it's awfully early to tell just how difficult that's going to be.

Dave Uhrich

We stranded a lot of runners. We had the bases loaded in the first and didn't do anything.

Bob Grimes

I'm just hoping to be in contention with the top runners, staying in that front group.

Ashley Aitken

We've definitely got some pop, but we're going to focus on playing little ball to get the runners on and do what we can to pop them in. We have a lot of speed and we plan on using it.

Lori Raschilla

We hit the ball well tonight. We had two good innings at the start and moved our base runners. We have to continue playing like this for the remainder of the season.

Scott Leggett

Sometimes you got to take advantage of what they give you. They gave us some wild pitches and let our runners advance.

Jay Harper

With our top eight runners returning and the addition of two of the areas top eighth graders from last year, we are hoping for a very good year. We will find our how good very early when we go to Fountain Central in our first regular meet.

Bob Swank

We should be able to place very high in every event against these teams. I was very happy with the way the kids came back from the winter break conditioning-wise, very impressed. The only group that isn't really ready yet is the distance runners.

John Papa

We didn't hit as well, but then again the weather changed a lot from our 3 p.m. game to our 7:30 p.m. game. We still executed well by putting the bunt down and moving runners over. So that's getting better. And our defense played well behind Erica. So hopefully those will carry over.

Lori Alexander

We couldn't get that one hit all game. It seemed like we had runners in scoring position in every inning. We couldn't get that hit to break the game open.

Chris Pedretti

He's one of our top returning runners and he's been running really well so far in practice.

Dave Curtis

Kenya has a lot of great runners. Being a world-class runner is the thing to do over there. It's like hitting home runs or wanting to be a great baseball player. Being a great distance runner is everybody's dream there.

John Mcdonnell

We had way too many opportunities that we didn't cash in on. We stranded runners and made too many mistakes.

Chad Logan

Erik Carlsen and Kevin Bernotas are strong, experienced runners and Zach Clemens won the league (freshman/sophomore) 800 and 1600 meter races. Along with a few other runners we have excellent balance and depth.

Bill Taylor

Our lineup offers a lot of flexibility. We can hit people in different spots. And, we'll do a lot of things on the bases: hit-and-run, steal bases, move runners. We also have some batters with some pop. We have a diverse lineup with lots of ways to attack.

Jason Swearingen

I can help the guys be better outfielders, and I can help them be better base runners and base stealers. You look at where your strengths and weaknesses are and work from there. I can do that.

Billy Hatcher

If we get there, who knows how much time we could drop? I know when I was a freshman, I dropped tons of time just being in that environment with all those great runners.

Hannah Hottle

The junior race is pretty much all the top junior runners in the world. It's a huge distance event.

Corey Ihmels

It was a well-played game, but we left too many runners on base.

Phil Webster

When Jill and Claire hit, everybody seems to hit the ball. We get runners on, but then nobody follows up by hitting them in.

Amy Cook

I thought we did the little things particularly well in the bottom of the fifth. What stood out was our ability to move the runners either with sacrifice flies, bunts, or stolen bases.

Doug Ferguson

We've improved all the way through. Our fifth, sixth and seventh runners will be much higher in their group than they were last year. The state meet may come down to our fifth, sixth and seventh runners.

Larry Strader

Our advance bookings are nicely up on last year and it looks like we will have plenty of runners and competitive racing.

Bill Farnsworth

They got the big hits, that's what they did. They got the runners on in scoring position and they came through with hits.

George Bridge

We were able to run tonight, ... We controlled the line of scrimage, our O-line was outstanding and the runners did a great job.

Deron Clark

Anytime you get runners on base through walks, errors or whatever, things can happen. The bottom of our lineup really came through.

Brenda Stieger

The girls found a way to win, and that's good to see. I was happy to see us get some base hits with runners on base because we have been leaving too many people stranded this season.

Stephanie Graham

He had all three of his pitches working and had some key strikeouts with runners on base. He pitched a whale of a game.

Mike Shimek

I expect all of my runners to come out as leaders on both teams. They all have leadership traits, and I hope to pool those resources.

Vin Lananna

We feel comfortable and have more freedom once we have runners on with the plays we can run. If we get a couple runs it's a little more assuring knowing that he's up there competing and we have faith he's going to get the job done.

Colin Curtis

We have been runners-up for so many times, this time we wanna win it.

Peter Gade

Megan probably gets to the ball quicker than anyone in our outfield. Offensively she has good instincts and loves to hit with runners on base. Liz became our starting centerfielder by the end of the year last year and became an even better hitter through the fall. She has as good an arm as anyone in the Big Ten in centerfield.

Linda Kalafatis

It will be great for Katherine to be pushed and be around a sea of competitors. She's excited to see how she fares against the other top distance runners in the state.

Jennifer Evans

I have been driving at night and have come up on runners and walkers, and it's hard to see them until the last minute.

Mark Bedenbaugh

Daniel from the first day was determined he was not going to be left [behind Robinson]. He's extremely competitive. We pretty much knew immediately he was going to be one of the top runners on the team.

Katrina Van Tassel

She's at a level similar to that of Michaela last year. Our best seven girls runners may all end up being underclassmen.

Chris Mcdonnell

Graham ran well. He got ninth against some stiff competition. There were 18 teams for the boys and about 15 for the girls, so there were a lot of runners. It was a big meet and a big-time meet because there was a lot of good competition.

Andy Holt

There is a fair amount of self-policing among the runners.

Guy Morse

I have spoken to distance runners who, as exhaustion approaches, pick their stopping places a mile in advance, with the rule that any place more distant can be picked at any time before they reach the current target, and once picked even by the most fleeting resolve it becomes controlling.

Thomas Schelling

The runners were going, and I got up and didn't hear anything from anyone else, so I threw it. I thought I had a play over there, at the very least someone going over there to stop it from rolling in the dugout.

David Newhan

In six games we have left 49 runners on base.

Joe Bogus

We kept hammering away, getting a couple an inning. It was nice to see other girls stepping up in clutch situations and hitting with runners on base.

Laurie Markatos

I really expected us to hit better than we did. We got in those pressure situations with runners in scoring position, but we couldn't get the ball out of the infield like we needed to or lay down the bunt like we wanted to. Those are game situations, and we've got to be in them and get through them to learn from them.

Harley Sisson

I can learn a lot from Paul. I need him to get his opinions. There are other good runners ? the Olympic and world champion and the London Marathon winner ? but with Paul there, it's good for us.

Haile Gebrselassie

It was nice to finally get a big inning. We got three big hits in that inning, and we also had some girls get on base with walks. When you get runners on base, good things can happen.

Dave Schweder

Our girls have run well all season. And they continue to do so, despite losing some of our top runners to injuries. We had some kids step up and run well. It was really a team effort this time for the girls.

Bart Thompson

Our focus has never been on fast runners. That's why there's no prize money. . . . In terms of attracting big names, our philosophy is we want to provide this quality of service to our runners.

Kent Perkins

It's great to win, to be a gold medallist, especially competing with runners who are more experienced than me.

Janeth Jepkosgei

It has been a goal of our program to recruit the best distance runners in Ohio. The past two seasons we have qualified for the NCAA championships with a roster made up of Ohio only athletes. I feel we got the best this year and am very excited to add him to a very young team.

Robert Gary

I feel like all nine players on the lineup can produce; we can't depend on one person to [score runs]. We're all making sure we are executing when runners are in scoring position.

Lacy Howard

We're going to throw some people into some different events. We might try Michael in the 400, and we might switch our distance runners around a little bit. We're looking to qualify as many people as we can for the Meet of Champions later this month. This week and next week will be a great opportunity to do that.

Tim Conley

Hopefully the runners that go can get just one race in and then get some rest, as it is needed.

Sue Parks

I think all the girls can become good hitters. Our whole lineup is capable of hitting balls into the gaps. It's just a matter of whether they can do it with runners on base.

Jeff Freeman

Because we felt Freedom was a little weaker we tried a few things we wouldn't normally try in a close game. You have to see how your runners are going to do in these non-district games. The hit the ball well and they listened well.

Janice Gillespie

Hitting the ball with runners in scoring position is nice.

Scott Palin

As far as pitching goes, it was pretty even. Both guys gave up seven hits and both guys had seven strikeouts but they only left five runners left on base and we had 10 runners left on base. If half of those guys score, it's a tie game and we're right back in it. Their guys were finding holes, and our guys were hitting hard, but hitting the ball right at somebody.

Courtney Harrness

They are really quality people, not just as runners. I just can't say enough about the top four. They have a lot of spirit.

Roger Mchone

The last three innings we battled. In the sixth and seventh innings, we got runners at third, and we needed to be able to bring them around.

Steve Sanchez

It makes the manager a little bit happier and you don't lose sleep over that, ... I tried to bunt a couple of bad balls. Even if I had moved the runners over, that's a success. That's what I was trying to do.

Lyle Overbay

We left way too many runners on base during that second base. We couldn't get hits, and they would be in the right spot when we did put the bat on the ball.

Greg Shivers

Up until today we have stranded a lot of runners. But today we were able to do the little things to bring them in.

Frank Bramall

It was our distances and jumps today and they put on a show. The jumpers did great and the middle distance and the distance runners really were on pace. We had a lot of guys raise their performances and that is what you have to have to win a championship.

John Mcdonnell

As I always tell my runners, 'it is not whether or not you beat someone else, it is about whether or not you better your time,' ... They did that. Each of my runners posted a personal best.

John Lee

We're not home-and-hearth people. We're the adventurers, the buccaneers, the blockade runners. Without challenge, we're only half alive.

Alexandra Ripley

I have five significant runners back.

Jim Hamilton

They make rugs, scarves, placemats, runners, bags, bookmarks, kitchen towels and Christmas decorations.

Mary Keeler

We are just going to have to make things happen. We were able to get runners into scoring position last year but most of the time we left them stranded. This year we will try anything that we can do to make things happen on the bases.

Christy Tumilty

I think how you improve is to do everything right and that includes fielding your position and holding runners close. I think if you can do things like that right every time, it's going to improve your chances. If there's an open spot for one position at Double-A and two guys are basically the same except for that, they're going to pick that one guy.

Dave Mckae

Randolph is a much improved team from previous years. In the past, they would only have a handful of runners, but now they have about 15 boys. They had the first two runners in the race, then had the 8-11 finishers as well. That is just to tough to beat.

Kathleen Mccarthy

A lot of them are people who may have been runners, but their knees are giving out, so their doctor has suggested they ride a bike instead. Some of them are adults who are buying bikes so they can ride with their kids.

Dave Rogers

We have seven pretty solid runners. No guys team here has ever made it to state.

Keith Butler

Runners from every school in the county are coming. I expect about 500.

Doug Butler

As runners-up in the African Championship, Egypt are a demanding yardstick for us.

Michael Skibbe

This was a good meet for us. We got to see a lot of the better Division II teams and some of the better runners in the Midwest.

Kirk Pedersen

We had our chances. We had runners on second and third with nobody out and our No.2, 3, and 4 hitters coming up, but we just didn't do a good job of situational hitting.

Corey Lewis

She works extremely hard in practice and she is always very focused. She will be one of our better distance runners this season.

Beth Ritter

Probably 1-3 of them who may be able to run at the varsity level this season. It's hard to tell with new runners because they get injured so often.

Kevin Allison

UCLA are undefeated national champions and Stanford were last year's runners-up so they are definitely favored to win.

Jovan Vavic

We have some backs that are good runners, but our offensive line is really coming on. That was one of our questions coming into the season, and we've got some guys that are really stepping up.

Dan Cavanaugh

Brittany was kind of hoping that someone else would be there to push her. But good runners are able to push themselves with kind of like an internal clock and that is what she did today.

Bill Moreland

This is a strong group, and we are looking to go to state this season. We only lost one senior, and are returning some very strong runners.

Don Daniels

Give them credit. We'd been running all day and we weren't going to stop now. He threw out Jacob Wengert, one of our better runners.

Jeff Graviett

The girls could be okay. We're still looking for runners 5, 6 and 7.

Bob Costello

We're still at a learning point of the season. For some of the runners, this may be their first meet because of spring break.

Dawn Pittman

Everything runners do is about how well we recover. That's when the gains from training come.

Lisa Dorfman

I think a course like Marine City (at East China Township Park) destroys runners' egos, and our course soothes them.

Dan Shafer

We played better in the afternoon game. We scored all six in the first two innings, and we didn't have many base-runners after that so we will work on that.

Richy Brooks

We've got a good nucleus of runners; we've really come out on the long side of that.

Carl Baker

They're going to put a lot of pressure on us. We've got to recognize what they're doing and try to create holes for our runners and give Shock time to throw the ball.

Nick Jones

He had a few nerves. He ended up with runners on second and third with no outs and got out of it in the sixth.

Jeff Tageant

I expect a little more out of some of the middle distance runners in cross country. Particularly at this distance because it is a lot shorter.

Theresa Fuqua

We learned that we can never give up. We also learned we need to hit the ball and score the runners when they get on base.

Jennilee Huddleston

When only two runners make it past first base, you know that your guys on the mound dominated.

Steve Ramharter

With quality collegiate runners like that gone, at some point that's going to catch up with you. I think our team could look a lot different in October than it looks in August.

Bob Bonk

He can move runners, bunt and execute the hit-and-run.

Dennis Deper

We did a good job building an inning. We got some big base hits and putting the ball in play is always big. We didn't strikeout, and we moved runners around the bases.

Gary Mcclure

I have detailed my army to keep an eye on them at all times because they are capable of taking off and disappearing completely. We won't run from the front, but we shall not be far away from the leaders. This time nobody will be detailed to set the pace because all my runners are of equal in strength.

Julius Kirwa

They are both intended runners and are in good form.

Frank Berry

Coach (Mike) Noll brought a lot of discipline with him from McHenry (his former coaching position) and has turned things around quicker than many people expected. They have some nice runners and good receivers. It should be a battle.

David Inserra

Aaron's only a sophomore and he's going to be a heck of a player. He had a good at-bat. He just popped it up. It's one of those things, (Monday) he hit one off the left field wall with two runners on.

Charlie Puleo

We're very confident heading into this tournament. We've beaten most of the front-runners and we know we can play with anyone.

Ryan Werch

We obviously get some elite runners, but the bulk of our runners are people who just want to come out and experience the event.

Tony Godino

John Robertson is a strong candidate and one of the front-runners. He has a lot of the skills we are looking for. But there are a couple of dark horses on our shortlist.

Pearse Flynn

With every minute, I was buying time for the runners.

Joe Moreno

A lot of these long distance runners start out at junior high. They have just as good times but they're also running 80 miles a week. So you see a lot of potential in someone who is running 20 miles a week. You see a lot of growing potential.

A.j. Ellison

We ran very well. We have a lot of new runners, but we did well and showed a lot of nice time improvement.

Shawn Moore

It was a very good game. They hit the ball very well (with) runners on base.

Rebecca Pack

The key is for our 3-to-5 runners, and even our 6-to-7 runners, coming along and making good contributions.

John Gartland

We just couldn't get some big two-out hits with runners on.

Matt Magee

It was pretty disappointing to lose that game, and then they got runners at second and third. But Chris got out of a big jam, and that fed into our half of the inning. That was a big confidence booster. I'm glad we got out to a fast start; that was crucial.

Bruce Steinbecker

The toughest question has always been, 'How do you get your ideas?' How do you answer that? It's like asking runners how they run, or singers how they sing. They just do it!

Lynn Johnston

What happens is [runners] go up a couple of hills and then their legs are gone.

John Eddy

We know it's a dynamic situation, but it's totally premature to talk about delays or postponement. Runners need to be prepared and dress for the weather.

John Conley

Our top four gives us probably the best top four runners that have ever been at Cowley for women. We are so excited about our top four, we just wish we had three more to go with them.

Mark Phillips

Katherine Mess pitched out of tough situations with runners at third.

Jim Lawinger

There are so many interests that need to be listened to, from the runners to the bikers to the river-rafting companies.

Jay Galloway

With some of my faster runners, I knew it was key just getting them on. As soon as they get on, they can steal automatically. They're fast.

Holly Rago

When I saw Brendan come over the hill in first place, I thought the two other runners who had been with him went the wrong way or something. He was all alone.

Jose Sosa

We walked too many guys. We walked 11 and we hit three. That's just giving up too many runners.

Kevin Benzing

I think the four seniors will be some of the top runners in the league. It's just a matter of whether our underclassmen can fill in those 5, 6 and 7 spots.
