"
It was a good meet for us. It showed that we're starting to come around and the fact that we qualified so many people for the Big East showed that we're starting to get ready for the Championships.
"
The Big East was the focal point of our indoor season, so this was more a meet for people who didn't go to that. We wanted something close and something that was a little more low key.
"
It was definitely a completely different atmosphere than at the Big East meet, but that's OK. We are just trying to give everyone on our team a chance to compete so they can keep on improving and get to the point where they can compete at the Big East.
"
There was good competition, but not great. This upcoming weekend we will have a lot more competition. It will be tough. This meet was good practice.
"
There wasn't a lot of high-powered competition. There were mainly non-Division I schools, but there were definitely some very good athletes. There was not as much competition as a typical meet that we go to, but that's what we wanted right before the Big East conference.
"
A lot of track meets aren't scored. Going in, we didn't know that it was going to be a scored met, and we didn't plan on taking this meet that seriously. But we did end up doing well.
"
The weather prohibited anything like a regional or national qualifying mark, so it was more of just good performances on Saturday.
"
The throwers had a good meet. The throwers are still working a lot on technique and a lot of the athletes are really young. There were several personal best performances, but a lot of them are still learning the event. That is going to take time.
"
Every single one of our athletes has had a good summer of training. We will be ready to contend throughout the season. We don't want to go to the conference meet as C-USA champions with the same team we had last year and finish seventh or eighth at the conference meet.
"
There is always room for improvement in every area. We are just looking to improve as a whole track team. We want to make the conference meet the best meet of the year.
