ask best coaches definitely friend losing next places program successful sure taken worked
I'm losing a friend and a colleague. He's definitely one of the best coaches I've ever worked with. Basically, he's taken this program places it's never been before. That's all you can ask of a coach. I'm sure he'll be successful at the next level.

So far as we can tell, the late night revisions made by the Council do not jeopardize the deal and mostly reaffirm our existing plans.

We feel we're in good shape. Even in the worst-case scenario, we should be okay.
among basically both conference five four parity potential season teams though tough
Even though we are basically young, I feel both teams have the potential to end the season with at least a .500 record. There's a lot of parity among the 12 teams in the conference. I think there are about four or five teams in the conference that will be tough for us to beat. But I feel we will be very competitive during the meets.
anyone arranged deal integrity issue itself undermine
As long as we don't undermine the integrity of the lease itself and the deal that we've arranged with the construction agreement, then I don't think anyone would have an issue with it.
bottom compete competing country cross dedicated driven drives example group kids line love nature people reason run several shape team time whatever winter word wrestling
Dedicated is the right word for my group of runners. I feel the reason kids compete in cross country is their personalities. Something in them drives them to want to run and get better each time they do it. Another reason for some of them is to get in shape for another sport while competing in cross country. Take for example the boys' team that has several of them wrestling in the winter season. So, it's in their nature to want to be competitive in whatever they do. Also, I have kids out here that do it because they love to run. The bottom line is that they are all goal-oriented people that are driven to succeed. And, for the most part, they are all the same way in the classroom.
absolutely deal forward locked second
The second we've got a deal that we feel is locked in place, we're absolutely going to go forward with it.
agreed attempt entire pose
If they attempt to redo the entire deal, it could pose a problem. If they come up with something that just strengthens what we've already agreed to, then there's no problem.
continue office partner process
We've been working with the CFO's office during this whole process and we will continue to do so. If he was not briefed before the change, it was an oversight. He's an important partner in this.

It's a surprise to me that he's still trying to run the court, given his physical condition.
decided mainly save time
There was a time during the negotiations where we thought we were going to take it out, mainly to save money. It's not decided for sure.
absolutely baseball believe hard league left major washington
It's a big unknown, but we absolutely believe it's a possibility. If Major League Baseball were sentimental, they never would have left Washington in the first place. We don't want to find out the hard way.
