ahead definitely gets last leaps matter
Kieran, again, did exceptional. As a matter of fact, he is definitely ahead of last year. For him, after he gets more conditioned and experienced, the leaps he makes are remarkable.
blew cold ran relay
It's a relay we know we can get to state. Kieran, in frigid cold weather, ran a 53.4 split, which just blew me away.
contribute couple eight freshmen girls might seven
I have seven or eight freshmen girls. All of them will contribute this year, and a couple might be surprises.
focus free hockey kids skate
My focus is just to get the kids on the ice. Some play hockey on one end, and I let them free skate on the other end if they want to.
four handle possibly state
I see him possibly doing all four at state this year, but he can handle it.
ahead last schedule year
They are ahead of schedule from last year by about 30 seconds.
drive knew last rest
I knew we could come back. They did not give up. That last touchdown drive can be a springboard for us for the rest of the season.
highlight missed pressure state three
I think that was the highlight of the meet. He has missed state for three years. To get that pressure off for him is great.
final great kids kyle looked lose open ran strong time
Kyle Hendrickson is going to be a great surprise. When he ran the four-by-four and open 800, most kids just lose it the first time on a track. He looked strong in the final 200.
athletes beautiful early great half seen since spring track
It was such a beautiful day. The 18 athletes who went had a great experience, since we hadn't seen a track yet. It was spring break, so 18 is about half of them, so that was great. We went down there a day early to practice.
race tight
It will be a tight race at league.
bring elevation hopefully lower peak season snow trying warm weather
We went out on hard-packed snow the other day. Our first part of the season will be training. We are not trying to peak for any meet. In May, hopefully the warm weather and lower elevation will bring us to where we want to be.
excited girls stick
We are going to stick with that and with the girls (1,600-meter relay). I'm excited about that group.
