I think that was the highlight of the meet. He has missed state for three years. To get that pressure off for him is great.
They are ahead of schedule from last year by about 30 seconds.
Kieran, again, did exceptional. As a matter of fact, he is definitely ahead of last year. For him, after he gets more conditioned and experienced, the leaps he makes are remarkable.
I see him possibly doing all four at state this year, but he can handle it.
He's got pretty good speed. If you see him run, you'll see he's a natural. He looks so good on a track, and he's never been on one before.
My focus is just to get the kids on the ice. Some play hockey on one end, and I let them free skate on the other end if they want to.
West Grand is a tough team. We knew that going in. We don't ever like to lose, but we did a lot of things right tonight. We're 2-1, and we have a big game coming up. The next one is always the biggest.
We are going to stick with that and with the girls (1,600-meter relay). I'm excited about that group.
I have seven or eight freshmen girls. All of them will contribute this year, and a couple might be surprises.
We can kick it from that distance. We just came up short.
