I was like, come on do it for New Jersey. I saw her kick and knew she was going to keep it going. I was thinking that would be incredible, having two Shore Conference girls winning Penn Relays titles.

Right when I passed Lauren I didn't know what would happen because I know she's more of a sprinter and has a better kick than most of the milers.

For the mile (1,600) I felt pretty good running the race like that. I was even more nervous for the 800, but I knew if I felt bad after running that mile time then I'd be concerned, but I was more awake and warmed up, so it was good.

I haven't run in any open races this year so it should be exciting.

It wasn't a fake - he saw the defense coming and knew he couldn't get the kick off. We forgot to tackle him. We had 'em dead in the water and the fish got away.

For the past 14 years I have been wearing the Maple Leaf on my jersey and it's always been an honor, but today's its very special.
