Alecia keeps improving in the steeplechase and is becoming more efficient with the barriers and the water obstacles.

The mile and the 800 are a reflection of the cross country season. Obviously we are going to have some good distance runners right now.

It was a great personal improvement for David. He is really vaulting well right now.

It was nice to compete close to home because we have some kids on the team from Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska - and we had a lot of parents there.

It's going to be a classic conference championship. Jamestown is going to be the team to beat, but we're really going after it. We're three deep in every event on the women's side.

It really is good. It was so lopsided with them in the conference. It's tough going into the conference meet knowing that you're going to get beat.

It was really good that the team didn't overlook Chadron. I was a little worried about our team not competing hard at Chadron but that wasn't the case. We feel we have been blessed with some pretty talented kids.

There was some real excitement at the meet. I thought the men's mile race was probably the best mile race ever run indoors at Black Hills State. The crowd was really into it.

Amber had her best mark in discus, and her mark in the shot was a personal best and No. 2 all-time at Black Hills State.

The weather was excellent. We've had three meets in row with ideal weather. It's good to get into another part of the country and compete; it was a really good day.
