beaten easily hate himself lose particular pleased race upset
He's a little upset with himself in that particular race and he could have easily beaten the other guy. I was pleased though, but I hate to see him lose a race by just a second.
competition feet fifth happy matters shot sixth throw tough win
If (Gilson) and (Martin) go over 55 feet, PR on the shot put and get fifth or sixth place I'll be happy but if they throw 46 feet and win I'll be mad. It will be tough competition and it just matters on how they perform.
catch foot good hard job land mental pleased rough side specific starting step time
(Pickford) did a good job and we're real pleased with the way she has evolved. Her mental side is starting to catch up after a rough start. It was just a mental thing for her, she just had a hard time getting her step off and couldn't get her foot to land at the specific place.

(Chew) has shown she is ready to go higher. She's very smart and she is doing things. I am looking for her to continue to grow and improve over the rest of the season.

Because we went to Alabama, I decided to balance off the travel and the expenses. Hopefully they will be rested enough to compete at Missouri in two weeks. I hope we could go outside when this weather warms up as opposed to practicing indoors.
compete competition face finished girls highly possible seen texas
It would have been highly possible that we could have finished better with those girls at Eastern. I had them compete at Texas to let them see what kind of competition they will face and they were able to face better competition than they would have seen at Eastern.

(Martin) just has a little injury issue. She could have competed and we're saving her for this weekend (at Iowa State University) where there will be much better competition than at UNI.
athletes best both competition matter maybe talented
They're (Gilson and Martin) both very talented athletes, maybe the most talented athletes on campus. No matter where we go, Big 10 or Big 12, they're still the best competition they have, which is each other.
caliber changed close high last meet northern original people plan send weekend
The original plan was to go to Purdue (University) this weekend, but they changed their meet to last weekend so we changed it to Northern Iowa. We were going to be close to Notre Dame, which is a very high caliber meet to send some people like (seniors) Aubrey (Martin) and Jen (Gilson) to give them a little better competition.

We had so many guys that graduated last year and we have a few seniors on the team now. We only have one guy that is a true senior, so we will be relying on the younger guys.
competition good hammer hope looking mark regional
We hope (Gilson) has a really good hammer competition and she hasn't made a regional mark in the hammer yet. I'm also looking for them to do well in the discus as well.
kids pay people realize stay sure third vote work
We feel like we could be in third because we were third in indoors. We'll have to work to make sure we stay there. If people pay any attention, they realize our kids have come a long way and that's why we didn't get third, so the third-place vote is accurate.
alabama close competing competition distance event good high issues kids knock meet might people quality relay run rust tired
We're going to try to knock off a little rust with a high quality meet with good competition like (University of) Alabama and Brigham Young University. We don't have enough people to run the women's distance relay and we have issues with kids competing in more than one event being so close to each other they might get tired out.
