Meador, Williams, and Riggs all competed really hard. All the women have shown tremendous effort in practices. They will continue to get stronger and more experienced through out the season.

The women's third place finish was a pleasant surprise because they are so young and top runner Kelly Flounders sat out due to injury.

I was very happy with how the men ran at the Bradley Open. They are running together as a team which will be the key to success at the end of the season.

We buy from minority- and women-owned suppliers in an effort that they will buy our products and services, so we both can enrich each other. That's the whole business basis of what we do.

This was a disappointing day but not because of the outcome, but because of our lack of effort and toughness. We definitely didn't play to our full potential and with the effort we played with in Vegas or against Kent State. The end of the second game was a little better, but we shot ourselves in the foot too early on. At least we got back on the right track for tomorrow.

and that our efforts and the effort of many women here in Iraq and the international community will ultimately pay off on this score.
