It was a ribbon of ice. Franz later told me that he didn't think he could win, but that he was willing to die trying.... That race put downhill on the map.

It was poetic justice for him. I told him he might get a chance to win it later.

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.

It was a win. I think this game will do us some good later on in the season. When our backs are against the wall, we'll know we can still come back and win.

That was at the State Meet and we just told her to do what she had to do to win the race. She had run a 1:34 during her 1,000 last week so we knew she could go under that. This was just a chance to actually do it.

We just told each other we had to get a win by any means necessary.
