athletes best good learning personal several technique
The throwers had a good meet. The throwers are still working a lot on technique and a lot of the athletes are really young. There were several personal best performances, but a lot of them are still learning the event. That is going to take time.
athletes champions conference contend eighth finish good last meet ready seventh single summer team throughout year
Every single one of our athletes has had a good summer of training. We will be ready to contend throughout the season. We don't want to go to the conference meet as C-USA champions with the same team we had last year and finish seventh or eighth at the conference meet.
frustrated good hit looking meet row third time year
We were getting a little frustrated just in that we were looking for some good weather. And for the third meet in a row we didn't get it. This time of year it's kind of hit and miss, and we have been unlucky.
east fact good meet people qualified ready starting
It was a good meet for us. It showed that we're starting to come around and the fact that we qualified so many people for the Big East showed that we're starting to get ready for the Championships.
competition definitely east good mainly meet typical
There wasn't a lot of high-powered competition. There were mainly non-Division I schools, but there were definitely some very good athletes. There was not as much competition as a typical meet that we go to, but that's what we wanted right before the Big East conference.
good meet weekend
There was good competition, but not great. This upcoming weekend we will have a lot more competition. It will be tough. This meet was good practice.
good national prohibited regional weather
The weather prohibited anything like a regional or national qualifying mark, so it was more of just good performances on Saturday.
best couple dame distance fast good helped meets performance takes third track
I thought that we had a really good meet. It usually takes us a couple meets to get going. This was our third meet and I would say our best performance of the year. Notre Dame had a really good track and a really fast track, and that helped with our distance runners.
conference east good indoor overall ready several weeks
Overall it was a good weekend, with several more Big East qualifiers and with two more weeks of preparation, I think we will be ready for our first ever Big East indoor conference championships.
definitely difficult distance early finish half learning runners top tough
We're definitely still learning about the Big East, it's a very tough conference. Right now, I'd like to see our distance runners finish in the top half of the conference, but it's awfully early to tell just how difficult that's going to be.
affected athletes certainly high placed proud running weather
I was proud of my athletes in that I still think they competed very well. And that's the most important thing. The weather certainly affected times and distances, particularly in running events, but a lot of athletes placed high and did well.
confident continue five nationals runners seven straight string team
We have a string of five straight nationals appearances and we want to continue that. All seven runners from the women's team are back and we are confident that we can be even better.
athletes events practice running technique timing worth
We were still a little rusty, and with only a week's worth of practice, the timing and technique of some of the athletes was a little off. The running events went real well.
approach benefit couple east last meet meets prepare year
Last year we went to a meet in N.Y. on the same course, so that will be a benefit to us. Otherwise, we won't really approach anything differently. We have a couple of big meets to prepare us for what it's going to be like at the BIG EAST meet.
