feet jump mike price rose since time
He really rose to the occasion. It's a big jump and it's the first time we've had a long jumper over 22 feet since Mike Price (a 1997 graduate).
excited explosive mark
That was an exceptional mark considering the temperatures. You're just never real explosive when it's that cold, so we're excited about what he can do when it warms up.
allowed built came career case certainly flew himself injuries season stayed talent year
I think he came into this season as someone who flew under the radar. That certainly wasn't the case with us, but I think it was with opposing teams. He's had some nagging injuries during his career that haven't always allowed his talent to come through. This year he's built himself up and the injuries have stayed away.
hard kids points proud tried
That's the thing we're most proud of is that the kids went and competed hard. We tried to get as many points as we could in a lot of events.
attacked call caught finish great kid ready scratch spirit starting surface team title won
We already had the team title won and we were ready to call it a night, but he went out and attacked the race. I think he was about 10 meters down with about 60 to go and he caught the kid at the finish line. I think the great thing is we're just starting to scratch the surface with his competitive spirit in races.
