We had a good opener last week, and this weekend will be a continuation of that. I think the girls are ready to have some even bigger performances, and people who are close to qualifying times can get over the hump.

We continued to improve each week. We have had a lot of great individual performances recently and I think we'll see that continue this weekend.

Each week has been one step in preparation for Big Ten Championships, and this is our opportunity to run on a large track with a bigger field of competition. Everyone has performed well and has improved. We hope to make more steps towards accomplishing team and individual goals this weekend.

This weekend we'll bring the full team, and I expect everyone to be competitive. The meet features a cross section of teams from various conferences, so this will definitely have a different feel than last weekend.

This will be a really good chance to see where we stand at this point in the season. All of the state schools will be there. We are bringing our full team and expect to have a successful weekend. It's early in the season, but I believe our girls are up for the challenge.

This is an important meet for us. We are sending a full team, and it's the last competition before the Big Ten Indoor Championships. All of the athletes' training has been geared toward peaking at Big Ten's, and we feel like the team is on course at this point.
