This means that we are keeping the tradition and it proves that when we come together we can achieve what we want.

When it comes down to it, it's just a time you are trying to beat, no matter whose it is. Hopefully it will stay for a few years.

I hope we can (come back). Our goal as a team was to win the gold. I wanted to do better and we also wanted to do better in the relay.

My major goal for this year is to have Oakland Catholic win the state again. I think my times are getting a lot better. They're better now than they were at midseason last year. I'm just hoping that as the year goes on, I'll get a little faster.

I think it would be anyone's goal to try to win them both. I've been working hard all year. I don't want to lose.

How to get the best of it all? One must conquer, achieve, get to the top; one must know the end to be convinced that one can win the end - to know there's no dream that mustn't be dared. . . Is this the summit, crowning the day? How cool and quiet! We're not exultant; but delighted, joyful; soberly astonished. . . Have we vanquished an enemy? None but ourselves. Have we gained success? That word means nothing here. Have we won a kingdom? No. . . and yes. We have achieved an ultimate satisfaction. . . fulfilled a destiny. . . To struggle and to understand - never this last without the other; such is the law. . .
