Considering the weather, I'm extremely happy with what we did.

For oil markets, it's all about the weather.

It's a little disappointing, but that's the weather. You can't do anything about it.

It's been brutal out there so far. The weather is just horrible for golf. It's freezing cold and the wind is whipping. It's tough for them to play consistent golf under conditions like this. But all the teams are in the same boat.

The whole team ran well, but with this big of a group of schools, it was not easy to make the top eight. We ran some of our fastest times to get in the top 12 to 15 teams. Some of the best Kansas City and St. Louis schools were there in addition to the best athletes from mid-Missouri. This meet was a major showcase of state-wide track talent for this early in the season.

I was most pleased with the team performance as a whole. There were lots of events were we had some relatively green athletes and some others where we didn't know where we would be considering it's the start of the year and all the bad weather. But, we really performed well. This was a really good opening meet for us.
