A key to success for the girls team will be the development of new athletes. Many of the freshmen have looked very strong in the early going and could make an impact right away.

The girls team did better than the score indicated. All of the girls in the long jump had personal records.

I know we have some good athletes. It will be a talented team. I would be disappointed if we didn't reach this level or beyond.

Every single one of our athletes has had a good summer of training. We will be ready to contend throughout the season. We don't want to go to the conference meet as C-USA champions with the same team we had last year and finish seventh or eighth at the conference meet.

It will be a tough game. Custer has some great athletes, but our girls have a lot of pride and we feel we can play with anybody.

I am excited to see the girls perform this year. We have a lot of young new athletes and older ones and I am anxious to see what they can do.
