We did put the lights on. It was a dark and dreary day, but that made it a little more festive.

Obviously it's a great honor to have the track named after me, but it's great to have a track which you can go out and use every day. It really is like Christmas.

We'll be in the Oakland Country meet and the Milford regional, that basically is all new to us. Good competition brings out good performances, and our kids have responded pretty well in the past. Now they have to step up a little more.

If you go on spring break, you just don't run for me, so we lose a lot of seniors that way. The seniors that we do have are the very dedicated. As a reward, I make them the captains, because they're always there. I have 11 captains, but that's not many for the kids we have on the team.
