8 Quotes by Mike Meeks

We're just real excited about our track team this year. Our kids competed well in some tough conditions. We have a lot of young kids on the teams who will be stepping up and they performed well today.

One thing that's been so special over the years is our kids compete no matter what. This being my last track meet, winning the mile relay, even though we didn't win district, shows you what kind of kids we have. Winning the mile relay is always important to us. I think we found four kids that are going to do really well. They're all underclassmen. I expect them to go to Austin, probably this year.

We took a chance on (Jackson) this week. We only ran him on one relay. He's never run the open 200 before. He did a very nice job, pretty impressive fully-automatic time.

I think it'll be one of the most exciting district track meets we've had in a while. It's going to be a battle. I've got it where there's four teams that are going to score over 100 points and three teams scoring over 130. It's going to be fun.

We have to repair this because it's not as safe as we want it to be. It's to correct the situation and make sure it never happens again.

We start serving at 5 p.m. and are allowing about 30 minutes (for a meal), so we're maxed out.

It's a tough track meet. The preliminaries and finals are all in the same day. There's a lot of running and jumping going on. It's a great meet to be at early in the season. Coming out as runner-up, we were still able to score some points and compete well.

Anytime you run under 1:30 this time of year you have a chance to run well late in the year. We've got to make sure we get the right combination together.
