Genetics is part of it. There’s no getting around the fact that he has a lot of natural talent. But he’s had the dream for a long time of being really great. There’s a lot...

They’re very conscious of it. They know that whey they go to a meet they’re noticed, but it doesn’t scare them.

He wasn’t allowed to go anywhere one day, so he ran circles in an empty lot at his house. He just ran around and around. That’s the type of thing that allowed him to be...

He paid the price for going all out Wednesday. He was still tired. I think the next time he’ll go all out is at CIF or States.

I don’t think he’s reached his potential. He’ll be faster as he gets stronger.

We’ll have our work cut out for us on Monday. There’s a couple kids that still need to get a little healthier so we are looking forward to them doing that.

I was impressed. I didn’t think they would run as hard as they did. We had the race well in hand, but there is some racing going on between teammates, which is good. Sam ran...

A win is a win. I’m proud of our two seniors, Jamie and Brittany. They weren’t feeling up to par today, but they gave it a good race.

They’re running well. Even though they run hard and try their best, they don’t kill themselves until the end of the season. You only have so many good races in you.

It looked a little scary there for a while. But Josie came through with that fifth place. She kind of saved the day for us.

Carlos is so solid. He’s getting right up there with Murphy.

I’ve always known that Melvin had the ability and potential. It’s just a matter of him working at it.

He matches up with the best we’ve had. Mt. SAC and the State meet will really show where he is.

This was pretty good for our first home meet. They ran enough to beat the competition. This was kind of like a workout for us.

Murphy ran an excellent race also. His effort was overshadowed by Sam, but he ran one of the best times ever here. And Carlos ran really well too.

She has got to be the fastest (female) runner we have ever had (in the High Desert). There may not be another runner of her caliber for another 20 or 30 years.

Our young guys are really showing a lot of promise.

He’s the best runner we’ve had in the last two decades, without a doubt.

I’m really impressed by the 15:09 at the CIF-Finals. That was an extraordinary time. I think that was the most fun to watch.
