We wanted to show everyone that the distance program is back at Texas. This is our big home meet so we felt like we had to win at least one of these relays.

It's always good to be back home,

We were anxious to get this game under our belts. We stumbled in the first round last year (a home loss to Mount Mercy) ... we played a total team game tonight.

We're at home for a few weeks now. Seems like we've been playing everywhere else for forever.

It means a lot. You normally open up every season with a home opener, but we didn't get that due to other circumstances.

That (home run) was incredible. I never would have thought in a million years that would happen. I'm used to hitting singles and doubles, and that came out of nowhere. That shut them down.
