The lineup can always change as things develop. It's never set in stone.

It was a typical Brendan Murphy race. He passed four or five runners in the last straight-away. He's still not convinced he can run with the leaders.

They all ran awesome. I'm very pleased with the way we're running right now. Now we just have to keep it going.

Every runner seemed to make the right move at the right time.

Brendan hasn't complained about it at all. We think it's totally healed.

Well have to wait for the regional, I guess.

When I saw Brendan come over the hill in first place, I thought the two other runners who had been with him went the wrong way or something. He was all alone.

We were hoping for a top-10 finish. We were 26th a year ago, so this is a big improvement.

For most of the race (Murphy) was fourth or fifth. He broke out the last half-mile and passed three runners. Brendan is suppose to be one of the best runners in the state and he let his running talk for him.

Right now Binder has that sixth spot in our lineup. He's another very committed kid who works very hard.
