Brian Bullis Quotations

I am really excited about the attitude and work ethic of our runners. Also for the first time in school history, we are hosting two meets. We will host the West Liberty Invitational (next Tuesday, September 13) and the conference meet that has been moved to Tuesday, October 11.

We have more experience returning than we have had the previous two years.

Both teams are competing at a much higher level this year. Ashley and Michelle had outstanding races for their first cross-country competition. Josh's time and second-place finish set the bar high in his first outing.

There will be some healthy competition within the girls squad to see who will make up the top five. The group is working hard and pushing each other, which is great to see. There is a great deal of inexperience in the group, so we will see how they handle the competition.

They don't know what it was like for us when we were kids. We try to instill in the kids to keep it clean to prevent accidents. All it takes is a little gummy bear and you're really hurting.

Hopefully, some of the younger runners will step up as the season progresses. The entire group has a good work ethic, so there are some signs of hope.
