A lot of athletes came by telling me they broke personal records. I was impressed; some of the times turned in were very nice times.

In the past, when things didn't go our way, we'd just let things snowball. This group has grown a lot. They have learned how to keep their composure and just fight. And tonight was a big step in the right direction. This was a good win for us.

We want to run, jump and throw to beat somebody. We want to approach every meet the same.

They're cross country kids that have come through on distance.

We can't watch all those kids. We're teaching them responsibility; if they cheat (at practice) then they're cheating themselves.

It's really a team activity. The kids work together, critique each other's events and talk about what they need to do.
