athletes awakening capable compete david defend four goal great high hope improve john major national onto people points pole score scoring side solid trying vault year
Our goal on the men's side is to be where we were a year ago, if not better, and for Rickey and John to improve their qualifying marks, and for others, like David Rae , to make it onto the national lists. Rickey is going in trying to defend his title. If he is able to do that, it will get us rolling. We also hope to score well in the pole vault because we have four solid athletes in it. David Rae is capable of scoring us some major points in the 3,000. We are a young team, but we have a lot of people capable of doing great things. Hopefully, Big Tens will be an awakening for them to compete at a high level.
festive front people running showcase
We want to showcase our athletes. It's going to be a festive atmosphere; running in front of 40,000 people is always exciting.
ability athletes bach beating certain contribute distance finals focus freshmen jumping knock lauren people position running steven ten thompson younger
I look for our freshmen to contribute a lot in the relays. We also need them to get into the finals in their respective events, to knock other people out of position to score. Some of the younger athletes, like Lauren Scott , Steven Bach and Terrell Thompson , have the ability to do that. At the Big Ten meet, I tell all of our athletes to focus on beating bodies, not on jumping a certain distance or running a certain time. If you focus on beating people, those things will come.
both continue good meets people surprise
Both meets will be good indicators of where we are. We just have to continue to get better and we will be fine. I think we are going to surprise a lot of people come Big Tens.
events impress people solid three
Leah was solid in all three of her events. She will impress a lot of people this year.
amazingly break means people record school takes three
Obviously, when you break a school record it means a lot. She is amazingly talented. She is doing things that typically takes two or three people to do.
close enables largest meet people
This will probably be one of our largest squads at an away meet. The meet being so close enables us to get a look at some of the people that didn't go to Georgia.
challenge finish herself shot slowly ten top
(James) is slowly distinguishing herself in the shot put. I think she could challenge for a top finish at the Big Ten Championships.
help last lost points replace throwing
We've lost a lot of throwing points from last year's team, but our vaulting will help replace some of those scores.
chance establish expect finish men team top
Our team has a chance to really establish the Purdue program. I expect our men to finish in the top three.
looking team training year
Our training as a team is on pace. We are looking better than we did a year ago.
balanced meet women
Our women should be pretty competitive. It should be a pretty balanced meet for us and we should do well in the scoring.
additional faster felt gotten help hurdles problems running scoring
(Pinkney) has had hamstring problems in the past, but he's gotten over that this year. I felt that running the 100 would help him run faster in the hurdles and we will need the additional scoring in the Big Tens.
qualified team
I still want to get (sophomore) Leah Kincaid regionally qualified in the long jump, and I would like to get the (400-meter relay) team regionally qualified.
