above degrees early gets good happy himself hot kids laid night pushed ran run
I thought Trent ran a good race. It was 7:30 at night and still above 80 degrees so it was pretty hot to run. Some kids who laid back early ran a little better and Trent kind of pushed himself a little. I'm happy that he placed. He will run better if he gets in better condition.
conference event events expected finals kids meet qualified qualify running top
Usually the conference meet comes down to how you qualify for the finals in the running events. For the most part, we did pretty well. There was one event where I thought we should've qualified and didn't. But for the most part, the kids I expected to be in the top eight, they were.
run
Megan was also another one that kind of got run to death.
cloudy cold event marks running
It was cold and cloudy and as the day went on it got nicer. I thought our running event marks got better as the day went on.
good missed quite run time
It was a good run for Jeremy, not quite what he wanted. The provisional qualifying time is 31:10 so he just missed that.
looked won
I thought 'Wally' looked real good. He won by a considerable margin. He did it kind of easily.
good hard hurdles worked
Jenny Betz had a really good hurdles race. She's worked pretty hard on that.
four good hammer happy threw
Our hammer throwers threw good today, all four of them. I was really happy with the way they threw.
basketball below coaches compete forward level move needs ohio players sure team understand valley
Our women's team is just not where it needs to be to compete in the Ohio Valley Conference. We need to move forward in our women's basketball program. Having said that, we need to make sure our coaches and players understand we are not going to compete at the mid-tier level or below in the OVC.
high intrigued kids northern school tradition
It has become a tradition here. Some high school kids have become intrigued about Northern because of it.
great ran
Jake had a great meet. We kind of ran him to death, too.
athletes belief carries good hard high indoor school season trained trains
Jake always trains hard. He trained hard in high school and trained hard as a freshman. He just has a lot of belief in himself. He had a really good indoor season and I think it carries over. Sometimes athletes just get on a roll. He's in a zone. That's just the way it is for him right now and it's just working.
came dual events far five good hard katie night ran record school score sore today tuesday
Katie wasn't very far off her school record (3,254). Katie had a pretty hard week. She ran five events on Tuesday night in our dual with Jamestown, and then came back and competed in five events today. If Katie isn't sore tomorrow, I don't know if she will ever be. That was a good score for her today considering how much she's competed this week.
couple days entire eric falling mind motivated next overcome people performing stay work worked year
When you work the whole year for a couple of days of performing and things don't go well, you take it personally. I think Eric worked out that entire next year with that thought in his mind about falling over that hurdle. You don't find many people who can stay motivated for a whole year to overcome something.
