I felt like I had a good chance, but when you get up here, the competition is the best in the state.

It's a chance for each competitor to recognize their favorite athlete of the competition whether or not that person ends up on the podium.

We think we have a chance. It's been a definite step up in competition. There are so many good teams out there at this level. I am going to try and have the best year I can and then move to Texas. From there we will just have to see how it goes.

Competition on the team will be keen. This year, we have a good chance for a lot of different lineups.

Ally Glasser and James Moody have a chance to place. But this is a very good competition for experience. There will be strong individuals from all over the country competing.

For some of the younger guys, it is a chance to find out what college distance and level of competition is all about. Most of the freshmen are going to run unattached for right now so we can kind of see where they are at and decide whether, later on midseason, they will put on their uniform and use their eligibility.
