Gail Maundrell
Megan did a phenomenal job on vault and floor and starting us off on floor. I think we were only a couple tenths ahead of Stanford going into floor. Stanford's a tough team and you really have to fight through 'til the end, so she really started us off strong on floor and they kept it going on through.

David Freedman
Machine capability is critical when you're machining parts to tolerances in the tenths.

All I know is this feels better than last year. It came down to the end again, six-tenths of a second and a three could beat you. I just did not want to come up short like last year.
Mark Shoff
To be within six-tenths of Kent State with a bandaged line-up is really good. I feel a lot better after this meet than going in because I know we've got other gymnasts to count on.
Mark Sontag
The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.
Jules Verne
It's set up like Sebastien's car and he is very fast. I told them when I get within two tenths [of a second] of Sebastien, then I'll change it. It's hard to beat him. He's been in the car for two years. But I'm getting there.
Oriol Servia
Journalism is nine-tenths being in the right places at the right time.
Andrew Marr
Either way, it comes down to just 3,000 votes out of approximately 1,360,000 votes cast, ... That's just two-tenths of 1 percent of the total vote cast in this election. Such a small margin would have already triggered a recount in 12 states.
Don Siegelman
The extra skills are going to help a lot. We're all beefing up our tumbling, and hopefully it will give us more tenths. I think we have good odds if we can hit on all four events.
Ashley Jacob
I'm happy with fifteenth fastest, but I made a mistake on my last qualifying run, pushing too hard and running out wide which lost me a few tenths it could have been a top ten start position. Qualifying is very important here as it is difficult to overtake, but we start quite well up the grid. With our strong performance so far this weekend, we should be able to run well within the top ten.
Andrew Arulanandam
She hadn't run track since she was a freshman. She's doing well in the 100. She missed the school record by six-tenths of a second. She's going to get that before the season's over.

Matt Scherer
It's been said eight kilograms (17.6 pounds) is worth two-tenths of a second. You can imagine the challenge that Preston and Dan are up against. To do as well as they do says a lot about their skill and ability to drive the sled down the hill.
Gordy Sheer
That would've been a pretty good run. The motor was off for nine-tenths of a second.
Terry Adams
In a way, it's kind of classic Derrick. For four years now, he's gone and missed pool records by tenths of seconds, hundreds of seconds. I can't even remember how many times he's been that close to a record and just missed it.
Larry Baeder
Brendan has been a mentor to me, ... He went out on the track and showed me the line. He told me to get out there and run my pace, and I will gradually build up my confidence. In the test session, I was only two-tenths of a second off of him, so I'll take that as a confidence booster.
Robert Richardson
Last year, she just missed the final heat by a couple tenths of a second. This year's goal is to make it to the top five. I think that's a realistic goal.
Rick Willigan
HISTORY, n. An account mostly false, of events mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers mostly knaves, and soldiers mostly fools.

Ambrose Bierce
I think that one possible definition of our modern culture is that it is one in which nine-tenths of our intellectuals can't read any poetry.
