Bubba Thornton Quotations

We're still going to compete for the title and certainly feel like we have an opportunity to do that. We can only do what we're going to do, and then we'll see where we end up at the end of the day.

Whether it's the Olympic Games or whatever, you're going to go through these processes to make sure he broke the record.

We have a legitimate shot. We have a shot because of the depth people like Brian and Jamaal give us.

He probably runs the fastest 40 meters in the country.

We were really excited about his semifinal performance. His experience of competing against some of the best runners in the world was good for him. That will set him up to do well at the conference and national championships.

When you set a national collegiate record on your first outing of the season, you're sending a statement to everyone else competing in that event. Trey (Hardee) was healthy during fall workouts, and the work ethic certainly was there all along. It just all came together for Trey.

I am extremely excited about the performance tonight. We had several personal bests, and I'm really pleased with how Jamaal (Charles) and Ryan (Palmer) stepped in today and competed. Raymond (Harris) is showing us that he will be a player at the indoor conference meet.

It's nice for Andra to be recognized by the conference early on in the season. Andra worked hard in the off season, and his early results reflect his work ethic.

This group of guys stuck together as a team to win this title. We don't have any individual attitudes on this team; everyone thinks about the team first. These guys have their rewards, as a result.

We'll also have the Chinese and a team from either Jamaica or the Bahamas. This meet ranks with a lot of meets in Europe. What better place to take a test?
