effort meet order prepare running step team ten week work
I'm a little disappointed with the effort tonight. This meet was a step back for us because we didn't look like a team in the running for a Big Ten championship. We have a lot of work to do this week in order to prepare for the championships.

As anticipated, we scored lower than in our first meets. We gave some of the younger guys experience and we weren't at full strength, but we will be ready for next week against two of the top teams in the country, Oklahoma and California.
ncaa proud ten won
We won back-to-back Big Ten championships and that's something to be proud of. It's two in a row, but we have to do more for the NCAA championships.
expect full hope listening lose strength sure train
We expect that they are going to improve. Listening to them they weren't at full strength and by then they hope to be. But I'm sure we'll train well and we don't want to lose at St. John.
share
We had our share of not doing well.
beat exhibition freshmen good guys healthy looked maybe ready rest seen team teams terms thinking
The team has looked pretty good. Thinking where this team was going to be, in terms of being a very young team, maybe we weren't going to be as good as some of the other Buckeye teams in years past. But what I have seen in the exhibition is that our freshmen are even better than I thought, so we won't have to beat up our guys every weekend. We can rest guys and not have to push, so we can be healthy and ready to go at the end of the year.
both focus michigan ncaa ten thinking toward
We are thinking toward both the Big Ten and NCAA championships. We want to go to Michigan and win, but our focus is on the Big Ten championships in two weeks.
changed coach far gotten prepared previous routines rules strength training unusual year
We have changed our training a little this year; our routines have gotten longer. To get prepared for this season, which is unusual because of the new rules making routines longer, we have done far more conditioning. We have been working with the strength and conditioning coach more this year than in previous years.

Jimmy was amazing. After not performing well on floor on the first day of competition, he did what he needed to do on the second day in order to make the U.S. National Team.
competition finish fourth obviously prepared relax second
We just didn't obviously have enough. Obviously we weren't prepared enough to come in here and not finish fourth. That's our one goal: Relax and just not finish fourth in this competition and just get to the second day and we obviously did not do that.

What an experience for this kid after walking on the team freshman year. Now he's on the U.S. National Team and competing against the best gymnasts in the world.

It's very disappointing. We haven't been in this position in 26 years. The longest streak of anyone getting to the championship just ended.
experience fell gained great missed national potential short team ten undefeated won year
It was a great year for the squad. We went undefeated in the Big Ten and won the Big Ten Championship. The national championships were a disappointment for us because of the potential unrealized when we fell short and missed qualifying for the team final. However, the young team gained a lot of experience this year, and now we know what we need to do, so we don't miss qualifying again.
far good guys high last meet potential team testament
It was a better meet than anything we did last year. I think that is a testament to the potential this team has and how far this team can go. It was good to see those high scores. They get the guys excited.
