That was at the State Meet and we just told her to do what she had to do to win the race. She had run a 1:34 during her 1,000 last week so we knew she could go under that. This was just a chance to actually do it.

It's been a great winter so far. We've been outside on the track doing most of our training. Obviously, you can run a lot faster and harder in 50-degree weather than 20-degree weather.

You're only allowed to do two events each, so we targeted this race and the 4x400. We felt we could run a time similar to two years ago and it just worked out that they ran very well.

It's not our best time of the year, but it's pretty close. We ran a 4:02.85 at Yale. That was a more competitive race, but this is a pretty good time.

Sam took it out first as she normally does. The other girl caught her with about 50 meters to go and passed her. She (Thomas) maintained that margin until the end.

This was just an average meet. There was nothing sensational. Hopefully, it'll be a wake-up call and our girls will get the picture. If we plan to win a fifth straight state title, these times will have to come down.

It was the leadoff leg so she didn't get a running start, so it's pretty accurate.

Emily has looked very good for us early in the season.

Samantha's versatility is second to none. We're very lucky to have her on our team.
