We were hoping to have a few more teams here, but you can't complain about the conditions or anything. I was worried about how we'd come out when New Town didn't come, but we were ready to run.

We didn't know what Moose Jaw had or where they'd run, but we weren't too concerned with them. We were watching the Class A schools and were happy to finish in front of Minot.

Tanner ran a best time and Anderson keeps cutting time to be our fourth runner. Justin Stewart did a good job coming off an illness to be our fifth man. We had good efforts all the way down today and number of guys ran personal records.

We had excellent efforts and we ran a smart race for the mid-80 temperatures.

Bismarck was really tough, it's the first we've seen of them this season. We showed our inexperience, especially in the fourth and fifth runners. Overall, I was satisfied with how the team performed, but when we learn to do what we can do, we'll run faster.

We had some voluntary workouts because of the shortened school day and some guys went out too hard and tried to do too much to get ready for the meet.
