The women's third place finish was a pleasant surprise because they are so young and top runner Kelly Flounders sat out due to injury.

Meador, Williams, and Riggs all competed really hard. All the women have shown tremendous effort in practices. They will continue to get stronger and more experienced through out the season.

I was very happy with how the men ran at the Bradley Open. They are running together as a team which will be the key to success at the end of the season.

I was a chunky little kid, and when they sat me in that wagon, it tipped backward and I banged my head on the (concrete) floor. I was howling pretty good, but Dad went outside and cried his eyes out.

It just sat up there for a minute, but then it fell off.

I think anyone who sat through this game for three-and-a-half hours figured it would end in that kind of way. To Matt?s credit, he hit the ball hard. I would have preferred it on the ground, but if you keep it down things like that happen sometimes.
