Anything better than 17th would be a improved finish, but it would be nice to see this team continue to surprise everyone with their competitiveness.

We knew we wouldn't have him.

That was great. He had a great day today. It was nice to have him step up.

Lauren had a fantastic day. Her improvement this season has been very motivating to watch.

I was extremely proud of how these young men competed today. We may not have won the meet, but we certainly had a large presence in the competition.

Erik and Drew are starting to see that they can run with some of the better runners in these early races. As their confidence continues to grow, I'm sure we'll see them move up a bit closer to Ian. That's even more impressive, as I'm certain that Ian will continue to get faster, as well.

I could tell the girls were a lot fresher this morning, as they had the opportunity to sleep in as opposed to getting up at 4:30 a.m. to board a bus.

She pretty much did that on her own. That's pretty impressive for a freshman.

That's the kind of depth we're looking for.
