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.

Last year we went to a meet in N.Y. on the same course, so that will be a benefit to us. Otherwise, we won't really approach anything differently. We have a couple of big meets to prepare us for what it's going to be like at the BIG EAST meet.

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.

So far they haven't had much competition. But that will change this weekend.

That will be a good weekend to prepare ourselves mentally. We've had a couple of byes this season. When we've come off them, we've been an awfully strong team.

Penn State is going to be our biggest competition this weekend. They beat Michigan earlier this year and Michigan won the World Series last year, so they should be pretty tough.
