We have some deep areas that we're trying to clear a path, but the snow is really hard and tough to move. We're hoping for some warm weather before then. I don't think home field advantage will make much of a difference; conditions will make the biggest difference.
We were hoping to have a few more teams here, but you can't complain about the conditions or anything. I was worried about how we'd come out when New Town didn't come, but we were ready to run.
I can't see them falling apart that much that they could lose. They would have to have six or seven guys run bad out of eight.
I expect Joe to run right in there with the top guys.
I think he's ready to make a move up in the pack.
We had excellent efforts and we ran a smart race for the mid-80 temperatures.
We didn't even realize New Town was ahead of us until after the race. We were too busy watching Minot.
We had some voluntary workouts because of the shortened school day and some guys went out too hard and tried to do too much to get ready for the meet.
We finished about where I thought we would. We had a lot of personal records and ran faster than we did last week.
We didn't know what Moose Jaw had or where they'd run, but we weren't too concerned with them. We were watching the Class A schools and were happy to finish in front of Minot.
Bismarck was really tough, it's the first we've seen of them this season. We showed our inexperience, especially in the fourth and fifth runners. Overall, I was satisfied with how the team performed, but when we learn to do what we can do, we'll run faster.
Bismarck looked really tough. But, we had two goals, to get ahead of New Town and stay close to Jamestown and we did that. They did just what I asked of them.
Dickinson ran a little better (than they had been), and we had two of our top five run where they were supposed to. The good thing is we didn't peak today, and hopefully we still will.
They all have numbers and a range where we'd like to see them finish. We have runners picked out with certain times for them to go after.
They ran their own races, ran smart and finished strong to catch the Bismarck runners at the end.
They ran really well, we weren't sure what they had since they haven't run yet, but they looked good.
It's hard to say who improved the most, all of them improved their times. We ran a real good pack race three through six.
Tanner ran a best time and Anderson keeps cutting time to be our fourth runner. Justin Stewart did a good job coming off an illness to be our fifth man. We had good efforts all the way down today and number of guys ran personal records.
The JV got after it and had a solid outing.
