Bismarck was really tough, it's the first we've seen of them this season. We showed our inexperience, especially in the fourth and fifth runners. Overall, I was satisfied with how the team performed, but when we learn to do what we can do, we'll run faster.

There was some hype [when Kim first came to the U.S.] and she showed us the reason for the hype. That's a live fastball. He topped out at 95, he probably threw a dozen or so at 93 and he had a sharp slider. I think we'll have to find some other opportunities that present themselves and see how it works.

It's just tough, especially since it's the first week,

These are very tough opponents. The stress of tough matches can be a challenge, especially this early in the season. But we're just going to work hard and believe.

We didn't know what Moose Jaw had or where they'd run, but we weren't too concerned with them. We were watching the Class A schools and were happy to finish in front of Minot.

Tanner ran a best time and Anderson keeps cutting time to be our fourth runner. Justin Stewart did a good job coming off an illness to be our fifth man. We had good efforts all the way down today and number of guys ran personal records.
