I knew we could come back. They did not give up. That last touchdown drive can be a springboard for us for the rest of the season.

I have seven or eight freshmen girls. All of them will contribute this year, and a couple might be surprises.

It will be a tight race at league.

It's a good starting point. It was her first run of the year. That home stretch was going to hurt anyway, let alone against the wind.

It was such a beautiful day. The 18 athletes who went had a great experience, since we hadn't seen a track yet. It was spring break, so 18 is about half of them, so that was great. We went down there a day early to practice.

It's a relay we know we can get to state. Kieran, in frigid cold weather, ran a 53.4 split, which just blew me away.

They are ahead of schedule from last year by about 30 seconds.

We went out on hard-packed snow the other day. Our first part of the season will be training. We are not trying to peak for any meet. In May, hopefully the warm weather and lower elevation will bring us to where we want to be.

West Grand is a tough team. We knew that going in. We don't ever like to lose, but we did a lot of things right tonight. We're 2-1, and we have a big game coming up. The next one is always the biggest.

We are going to stick with that and with the girls (1,600-meter relay). I'm excited about that group.
