This was one of our dreams as a team. And it came true. But we're taking things one step at a time.

This is a dream come true for us. Since we were freshmen, the seniors on the team have talked about getting past area. ... Our coaches have already explained to us what we have to do. We have our whole game plan set. We're ready, and we just have to play our game.

We never played like this before. We were playing on their level, instead of playing how we know we can play.

I've nothing against anyone following their dreams -- but not if they're crap.

Like many excellent runners, Sadat had his dreams of becoming a sprinter, but soon learned he needed a little distance to do his best. He was already a middle distance runner when he came to us.

You have to hold onto your dreams and never give up. You may not accomplish what you want at a certain age. That doesn't mean it will not happen. Keep on trying.
