It wasn't a very good day for us. However, we are not out of it yet. The slalom is our strongest event and hopefully the Nordic group can ski well tomorrow. I look for Denver and Colorado to make a move and hopefully we can stay with them.

The NCAA Championships turned out to be a success for us. It wasn't as well as we were hoping, but we battled from fifth place after the first day to second in the end. Even if we had skied up to our potential, Colorado was unbeatable. The best team won this week. We were the second best and that is where we finished. I am proud of our coaches and athletes and their efforts to make us a national powerhouse in skiing. The future looks good and many of these same skiers will be back next year.

If it wasn't for the local people helping us out during the day we probably would have lost the house. Right now we have extensive damage to the second floor.

[Winning district games] helps us maintain our two goals ? to get better every day and to put ourselves in position to win the district.

The guys have told me not to quit my day job.

They can do 40 a day, and we believe we're going to get up to 80 a day before too long.
