effort meet order prepare running step team ten week work
I'm a little disappointed with the effort tonight. This meet was a step back for us because we didn't look like a team in the running for a Big Ten championship. We have a lot of work to do this week in order to prepare for the championships.

experience fell gained great missed national potential short team ten undefeated won year
It was a great year for the squad. We went undefeated in the Big Ten and won the Big Ten Championship. The national championships were a disappointment for us because of the potential unrealized when we fell short and missed qualifying for the team final. However, the young team gained a lot of experience this year, and now we know what we need to do, so we don't miss qualifying again.

We just didn't obviously have enough. Obviously we weren't prepared enough to come in here and not finish fourth. That's our one goal: Relax and just not finish fourth in this competition and just get to the second day and we obviously did not do that.

We had our share of not doing well.

We expect that they are going to improve. Listening to them they weren't at full strength and by then they hope to be. But I'm sure we'll train well and we don't want to lose at St. John.
carries character hole hope proud response team testament
We battled back. To see them come back from the hole they were in is promising. I hope this is a testament to the character of the team and carries through to the end of the season. I am proud of their response and I think it comes from the captains' leadership.
