When the field events do well, the track (runners) come right behind them.

That's when we want to be at our best. Everything we're doing now is to help us prepare for the Class AA sectional and state meets. Each meet is just another step we're taking in order to get us ready.

To be honest about it. I don't want to talk about East St. Louis. They have had one of the top track programs in the state for years. We're just getting started. We're just working hard, trying to get better week by week.

People just love to see the sprinting events. No one wants to watch a kid run around the track 12 times.

Right now, we have an unprecedented attack on retirees.

Right after we saw (last week's) accident, we were both transported back to the events of two years ago. Then Bruce said to me 'we were spared for a reason.' We both know what it is.
