This year probably wouldn't have been as bad, but my first year here we didn't even get on the track until May (because of the weather). I hear how softball is always changing their schedules. Obviously it's a lot better that we don't have a meet here.

The best thing that came out of this is they really got their eyes opened to what they can accomplish over the next couple of years. We can talk all day long about how good they can be and what they're capable of doing, but to actually see their names up there, I think that shows a lot.
