Xavier has been running the 400 meters so he has a little more strength at the end of his race. He ran the race he was supposed to. He was quite a bit faster in his second 100 so I was real pleased with his effort.

That was a great run for Xavier. Especially after not running that race since his state high school meet two years ago. He's really in good shape and we're keeping him kind of rested up so I wasn't very surprised to see a time like that.

Willie was really ready to run, and we knew if he could win that race, we could have a shot at winning that championship. We had a lot of other opportunities to score, so we can't just put it on one event. Arkansas has a great team, and they deserved to win.

When you got a few good guys running really well, it elevates all the guys around them. That's what a Kelly Willie and a Xavier Carter bring to the team. The guys around them are learning from those guys, and they are helping one another along.

The scouts just enjoy the outdoors, the weather doesn't matter, the rain doesn't matter, it's just fun for them to be here to enjoy one another's company, to be in a structured environment where they can have fun.

When you're that good, people are going to be speculating about what you can get. But speculation is just that - speculation. None of them, to my knowledge, have expressed strong enough interest where they would lay a big bundle of money on him right now. [Xavier and Ken] know he's a sophomore, and they know he's happy. And they know it's best for him to stay in college as long as he's happy and successful.
