He managed to race yesterday (in the four final) though there were doubts that he would be able to do so.

The Italians stacked their eight this year. They threw everything they had at us out there today. We had a good piece and held them off.

What Jessica and everyone else did at GMC race was one of the biggest highlights for me as a coach. Breaking six meet records was an amazing feat.

It was the perfect race for me. I don't even plan to peak for another six weeks at nationals, so this is better than I could have imagined. I'm going to be faster before the season is over.

I'm figuring we're probably going to be in the back half of the field the first part of the race and see if we can reel them in.

We have three freshmen in their first race at 3 miles. They did well, considering.
