Vin Lananna Team Quotations

A lot of the enthusiasm at U of O is built on its traditions. I hope to reconnect with that past enthusiasm. The wonderful men's track and field team generated a lot of enthusiasm last spring by winning the outdoor Pac-10 Championship. We hope the same energy will carry over into fall.

We are concentrating on one meet at a time. We have some tough races in the next five weeks, and we don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves. The enthusiasm on this team is outstanding, and if the coaches and athletes can continue that positive attitude for the rest of the season, I'm confident that we will achieve success as individuals and as a team.

The women's team has a solid pack through six runners, and we won't plan to rely on just one person to compete well. It will be a true team effort.

The women ran tough today and to come within a couple of points against a very good Washington team proves that they ran well. Individually, I was happy with everyone, and Katie Leary in particular showed well today.
