athletes capable depth finishing strength top
Our strength is that we have depth, so we should contend. We have athletes that are capable of finishing at the top of the BIG EAST. Depth is very important to us, so the more we have, the better off we will be.
best couple dame distance fast good helped meets performance takes third track
I thought that we had a really good meet. It usually takes us a couple meets to get going. This was our third meet and I would say our best performance of the year. Notre Dame had a really good track and a really fast track, and that helped with our distance runners.
definitely difficult distance early finish half learning runners top tough
We're definitely still learning about the Big East, it's a very tough conference. Right now, I'd like to see our distance runners finish in the top half of the conference, but it's awfully early to tell just how difficult that's going to be.
conference east good indoor overall ready several weeks
Overall it was a good weekend, with several more Big East qualifiers and with two more weeks of preparation, I think we will be ready for our first ever Big East indoor conference championships.
frustrated good hit looking meet row third time year
We were getting a little frustrated just in that we were looking for some good weather. And for the third meet in a row we didn't get it. This time of year it's kind of hit and miss, and we have been unlucky.
athletes events practice running technique timing worth
We were still a little rusty, and with only a week's worth of practice, the timing and technique of some of the athletes was a little off. The running events went real well.
drove impact wondering
We were kind of wondering if it was going to impact the meet. We didn't see anything where we drove in to the track.
athletes champions conference contend eighth finish good last meet ready seventh single summer team throughout year
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.
best conference improvement looking meet room track
There is always room for improvement in every area. We are just looking to improve as a whole track team. We want to make the conference meet the best meet of the year.
bit events focus four indoor outdoor switch track weeks
Now we will take a little bit of a break. We have about four weeks before our first outdoor meet. Some of the events will be different and the track will be different so we need to switch focus from indoor to outdoor.
approach benefit couple east last meet meets prepare year
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.
athletes best good learning personal several technique
The throwers had a good meet. The throwers are still working a lot on technique and a lot of the athletes are really young. There were several personal best performances, but a lot of them are still learning the event. That is going to take time.
meets plan taking track
A lot of track meets aren't scored. Going in, we didn't know that it was going to be a scored met, and we didn't plan on taking this meet that seriously. But we did end up doing well.
competition definitely east good mainly meet typical
There wasn't a lot of high-powered competition. There were mainly non-Division I schools, but there were definitely some very good athletes. There was not as much competition as a typical meet that we go to, but that's what we wanted right before the Big East conference.
