Pedro Marquez Work Quotations

This year she came out and challenged herself to be a distance runner. We're trying to get her down to six minutes (in the 1,500). I think with her work ethic, she can do it.

It was the first time she ran either of those races. She's got great running form, we just have to work on her speed.

She's come from our middle school program and she is a girl who has a lot of potential. She doesn't have a lot of speed, but she has great springs in her legs. We're going to work on her approach and form, and I expect good things from her. To go out on her first meet and jump 4-8, she's not far off from the school record (5-3) and she's only a freshman.

She actually had a toss of 30-feet (in the shot), but it was scratched. Everything is coming together technique-wise for her. She's a lot smoother in her glide and extension. She's starting to get it -- she's got some stuff to work on, but she's getting stronger.

Our relay team did well. We just need to work on passing the baton, but that's something that we can work on and improve on. Also, not looking back while we're running will help out.
