We are not a team with just two or three superstars. We can back up those guys, Cooper and Stump, with guys like Mike Marshall, who also is good in shot and discus, and Zach Schmidt in triple and long jump.

We got our butts kicked. We're not the first team they've done that to and we won't be the last. As good as North Dakota is, we're much better than what we showed.

The three of them are the quietest guys on the team. You would never guess that they fly around the field like a bunch of wrecking balls.

I'm surprised a lot of the guys didn't make it. But it's not an easy team to make and we already had three representatives, so I'm sure that played into it. If they were on different teams and they were having the years they are having, I'm sure they'd be on it. I'm sure they would love to be on it, but in the big picture I know what they are worried about and that's helping our team win.

This team believes it can be good and has chosen three guys they can rally around to get there,

We only had one year under our belt, so it's not like you're with the guys for two, three years.
