We've just been working hard and it was pretty tough sledding today. We just kept scoring points in event after event and when we looked up we'd scored a whole pile of points. It was a good first meet but we know tougher meets lie ahead.

I'm proud of them. They've worked hard. They've seen that we lost by seven points last year to Central. They see that every single day when they come in the dressing room. I put it up there as big as you can. I guess it's fitting that we beat them today by seven.

A lot of these girls were there last year and I'm hoping that will help us out having a little experience up there and knowing just how tough it really is. You really have to run on the first day to get to run on the second day.

We've already talked about that and they're OK with that. I want them to hear that from me and let them know I'm going to finish what I started. Hopefully that'll mean we're running track into May.

We had a lot of improvement on all three relays from last week. We're starting to come together, starting to make headway in all of our field events.

We had a little stretch there with the 100 hurdles, the 100-meter dash and the four-by-two where we made a good push in the track meet. Those kind of things spread throughout your team and then they all want to start competing a little better. There's a little momentum involved in track, too. Not everybody realizes that.
