I see him possibly doing all four at state this year, but he can handle it.

Kyle Hendrickson is going to be a great surprise. When he ran the four-by-four and open 800, most kids just lose it the first time on a track. He looked strong in the final 200.

It was such a beautiful day. The 18 athletes who went had a great experience, since we hadn't seen a track yet. It was spring break, so 18 is about half of them, so that was great. We went down there a day early to practice.

I think that was the highlight of the meet. He has missed state for three years. To get that pressure off for him is great.

We went out on hard-packed snow the other day. Our first part of the season will be training. We are not trying to peak for any meet. In May, hopefully the warm weather and lower elevation will bring us to where we want to be.

I have seven or eight freshmen girls. All of them will contribute this year, and a couple might be surprises.
