We had a lot of guys step up today. They've been working very hard in practice, and that's where you get better.

Lewis Central's a good team, and Glenwood's good. We had some tough competition. I was hoping for top three, just to get a team medal is important to us. These guys want to be successful.

To have your top five guys get medals ... that's big. I mean, to have L.C. score 49 and not win the meet ... that's rare. I'd take 49 points anytime.

There's 22 practice days between [today] and our first game [Nov. 12]. You would like to lay the foundation, like you would with a house, and the success of your team depends on what you build those 22 practice days. Last year, we were never able to get after it because of those situations. I don't see that as an issue right now, cross your fingers.

We're actually having practice today.

We're going to have an easy practice (today), so basically, after the second quarter, that was our practice.
