Pounding the pavement, standing up long hours at events, the kinds of things you have to do in a campaign ... It's definitely disappointing and frustrating. But we'll live to fight another day.

We knew we have to get a big lead in field events. We just can do what we can do tomorrow. (Vikings) are tough in the track events.

We'd have been happy to have stuck to that (May 31 deadline) but speculation and events have meant we have had no alternative but to bring things forward.

It won't be easy, especially considering we have not attended all National events this season, but regardless our goal is set, the team is determined and we are going to give it all we have to finish in the Top 10. As everyone knows in this sport, anything is possible.

I feel as though I am swimming in an ocean of knowledge with but a teaspoon to consume it.

One of the things that stands out about this project is how it was funded.
