Our strength is that we have depth, so we should contend. We have athletes that are capable of finishing at the top of the BIG EAST. Depth is very important to us, so the more we have, the better off we will be.

Every single one of our athletes has had a good summer of training. We will be ready to contend throughout the season. We don't want to go to the conference meet as C-USA champions with the same team we had last year and finish seventh or eighth at the conference meet.

There was good competition, but not great. This upcoming weekend we will have a lot more competition. It will be tough. This meet was good practice.

The throwers had a good meet. The throwers are still working a lot on technique and a lot of the athletes are really young. There were several personal best performances, but a lot of them are still learning the event. That is going to take time.

It was a good meet for us. It showed that we're starting to come around and the fact that we qualified so many people for the Big East showed that we're starting to get ready for the Championships.

We're definitely still learning about the Big East, it's a very tough conference. Right now, I'd like to see our distance runners finish in the top half of the conference, but it's awfully early to tell just how difficult that's going to be.
