We had a good race this year, much better than last year (at county). I was not very happy at all last year with our race. We ran pretty well today and we had to because Grayson and Peachtree (Ridge) are so good.

Essentially, it's just an information session. It's not about just filling out a form, but how it affects the students' financial aid packages as far as scholarships, grants and loans. It also emphasizes the importance of getting it done. There are different requirements for different things.

This is more of a chance for parents to get more involved in the process than the students. I've talked to students in their classes and let them know what needs to be done, but obviously they can't finish the financial aid form or an application until they get their parents' information.

We're in a good situation. We just try to keep everybody healthy as much as we possibly can. Because everybody deals with that.

I was very excited about our boys. With the things we've been dealing with, injuries and graduation. We were going to break 100 points and then we score 62. That's just phenomenal. I didn't know if we'd have anybody in the top 10 and we get three guys in the top nine. They really got after it.

That was an extremely tactical race. They were both a little wary of each other. I think Self was sick and she didn't want to take it. It was exciting to watch for the last 800, but still they weren't running fast the first 2 1/2 miles. It was kind of strange. We're just happy she won.
