It's frustrating. Hopefully we can get that fifth person. She can just walk the course if she wants. I thought having these two top runners, would bring some more girls out, but that hasn't been the case.

She does that little extra every day that a lot of kids just don't do. It's nothing in particular, it's everything ? she puts extra into everything she does.

She read some things on the Internet and that kind of helped her, fired her up. She just read some things about the race that were an incentive for her.

If we get past the districts, there will be no more pressure on us. We've done it. There will be no pressure.

It really gives you confidence. It doesn't put so much pressure on one single person.

Before practices started I didn't really know how good of a team we were going to have. But first day of practice we took BP, and I knew then. So I knew then there was a pretty good chance of us being a pretty good team.
