The NCAA made the general public more aware of women's sports. But we still need more opportunities for women in athletics.

I thought we had a better team effort than we did at North Central (College First Chance Meet). We're starting to do the things that made us a great team indoors.

When I was in high school, we had track for five weeks my senior year. That was all for women's sports. So, we've come a long way from having almost nothing.

We don't want to lose the outdoor title by a point again.

That puts a different chemistry of athletes in the national championships. You also have a couple of teams that don't do indoor and just compete during outdoor track.

We remember that we were one point away last year and that's added fuel. This is a whole new season, but we should be a strong team outdoors.
