continue grow improve looking ready rest shown smart
(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.
bit board eager following jump loosen mad past problem stepped struggled weekend
He struggled a little bit this past weekend, he couldn't get the jump off because he stepped over the board just a little bit. That's not a problem he usually has. He'll be more eager this weekend because he's a little mad at himself. We'll want to be a little conservative on his first jump and loosen up the following jumps.
drop faster four goal happy improved previous ran run seconds six weekend
I'm real happy for the way they ran and they improved by six seconds from their times the previous week. We'll run faster this weekend and our goal for them is to drop another four seconds.
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.
best foot forward home meet points score
It's our home meet so we want to put our best foot forward to score as many points as we can.
advantage beds biggest cheer crowd family feels home hotel practice sleeping team tired track
The biggest advantage is this is where we practice every day. They know what the track feels like and they are conditioned to those environments. They won't be tired from sleeping in hotel beds and buses. Plus, the home crowd with friends and family will be here to cheer the team on.
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.
best bottom competition everybody finishing given iowa kids meet meets nation opposed quite ready state team three thrive top work
The meet at Iowa State is one of the best meets in the nation and some of the kids on the team aren't that quite ready for that kind of competition yet. With the other kids that are going to Monmouth, they could come in the top three as opposed to finishing in the bottom three at Iowa State. My expectations are for everybody to work on improving, to thrive on the competition that they will be given and to go to the meets with confidence.
hockey roller
We practically have enough for our own roller hockey team.
both confidence ran solid themselves
I think they could have done a little better, but they both ran solid races. All they need is a little more confidence in themselves and they'll do fine.
across everybody good hopefully performance solid teams tough
There should be some good teams and tough competition. It's going to be good for us and hopefully we have a very solid performance by everybody across the board.
against average compete competing content finish kids major meet middle practice programs ready super suppose win
We're average and we're not super ready but we had enough practice that we should be ready. For the most part we will compete well and we should be Ok. We're competing against some major programs and if we finish in the middle of the road, I'll be content with that. If we competed as well as we could, I'll be happy, and even if we do win the meet and the kids didn't do what they were suppose to do, then I'll be disappointed.
