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.
best conference improvement looking meet room track
There is always room for improvement in every area. We are just looking to improve as a whole track team. We want to make the conference meet the best meet of the year.
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.
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.
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.
close east focal indoor low meet people point
The Big East was the focal point of our indoor season, so this was more a meet for people who didn't go to that. We wanted something close and something that was a little more low key.
meets plan taking track
A lot of track meets aren't scored. Going in, we didn't know that it was going to be a scored met, and we didn't plan on taking this meet that seriously. But we did end up doing well.
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.
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.
bit events focus four indoor outdoor switch track weeks
Now we will take a little bit of a break. We have about four weeks before our first outdoor meet. Some of the events will be different and the track will be different so we need to switch focus from indoor to outdoor.
believe team year
We have a pretty young team and with this being our first year in the Big East, I believe we are doing very well.
east everybody far fast goal high jump looking measure people placing track ultimate week
We did have some people place high, but for us it wasn't as much about placing as much as it was about just competing. In track you can measure how fast you run, how far you throw, or how high you jump week by week. So we were just looking at having everybody progress. Our ultimate goal is to have everyone be competitive at the Big East level.
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.
