Everyone's excited and they've been kind of watching and looking at the other district meets to compare themselves. They feel confident and I feel confident we're going to have a good meet. I think all of our kids have a chance to be very competitive.

All four teams can say they have a chance to win the thing. I don't think anybody's really a favorite right now.

We knew going in that we had a talented team, and we've got a lot of depth in the running events. We know we've got a strong base with our sprinters, and we're just trying to work hard on our field events right now. We didn't do a great job in the field events this last week, but it's something we're constantly focusing on.

A lot of the same teams are going to be here. Obviously it is at home, and it's good that we're running at home because there will be a little added pressure. We'll see how we handle that and we'll get to see our district opponents one more time.

We realize we're a long ways from achieving the goals we want this season. It's always good to start with a win, but we've got a lot of other things to accomplish this year. The first one is nice, but the last one is the one everybody remembers.

You can see the geometric designs in my sculptures - dealing with the lines and curves.
