I thought the girls ran pretty well. We have a new fifth runner and we have to work out some things. But in a couple of weeks they should be right up there with the boys.
We have caught them and we should be pretty competitive the rest of the year. It's taken four years, but we are really happy with where the program is at.
We played pretty good. I have great parent and coaching staff support. Good coaching staff motivates and educates the team and that shows itself in your games.
We have been building up our program to a point where it can compete with any school in any division. We are about there.
We're trying to build a solid, sound base on which to grow long term. Our goal is a billion-dollar institution in eight years or less and a $3 billion bank beyond. We have a long-term, long-range vision and goal and we're just executing to get there.

We have 12 teams coming in and it will be a very good meet. This is where the 2-A regional will be held.
We were pretty excited to compete with some of the best teams around,
We didn't know that they broke down the divisions like they did.
Ramon ran very well. He broke 17 minutes for the first time.
Ramon has had some offers for colleges and every meet that he does well in is another feather in his hat. We're proud of him.
There was a tremendous sense of betrayal on the part of the employees because they had bought into the philosophy of being independent and that bank had been so successful, ... To a person, there was a sense of loss.
This is the second meet where the boys and girls have won. I am very ecstatic over this win.
All of us had worked for big banks before. We weren't real enthused about that prospect, ... Once the transaction was closed, I think we all looked at each other and saw it in everybody's eyes and said, 'Hmmm, this is not where we want to be.'
It's easier to hire somebody with personality and teach them to be a banker than it is to hire a banker with personality, because they're pretty rare.
This is our first win in a major competition. The boys have been strong the last two years, so it is nice for the girls to come along and I am happy for them.
