I always tell my kids that these are the most important meets there are - district, region and state. All the other meets leading up to that is just a controlled practice.

We're excited about it. We have a great fan base, which is why we want to keep it as close as we can.

Several of the other kids did well, however, these three were the ones who medaled.

I like the kids to see me in person. It is one thing when you see an athlete on TV say 'stay in school and do the right things' and it's another when you get to hear them say it in person.

My head is not buried in the sand. Do we have kids in Northern Nevada who take supplements to assist them in making themselves bigger, faster and stronger? Yes, we do. I have no doubt. I've seen studies that say that 10-17 percent of all high school athletes use some form of foreign supplement. We're probably right at that average. But are they injecting steroids? I don't know about that. Are they taking supplements? I'm sure they are. Yes.

The greatest thing of all is that he's got super kids on the bench that they can bring in and they can do the exact same thing.
