I think the thing he really needs to do to get better is put in more time in the weight room. Last year, we did a little bit of weight work with him. This year, we've tried to do a little more. He needs to get stronger.

We'll need to step up big in the women's weight throw and Jones(-Graf) needs a big triple jump.

I can't wait to get down to where my weight needs to be so I can start eating Samoan food again.

He's not a big 125-pounder, so why would he need to lose a bunch of weight like that? It doesn't make sense. It's a case of a freshman not being very disciplined.

He has gotten much stronger physically and has really put a lot of time in the weight room, ... Last year, we were 50-50 in terms of running and throwing the ball. This year in our scrimmages we have thrown the ball more than we've run it.

I definitely feel that a little weight has been lifted. Now I know the next time I'm in that position, I'll know I've gone ahead and won before, so it's going to give me confidence the next time I'm in the same position.
