Emily Tucker Quotations

I expect them to be top runners in future seasons.

He was very focused on his race strategy as soon as we got to the meet that morning.

He is a very strong runner and also very smart in his races.

Jenny has been working on her form and it really paid off this meet. She looked 10 times better than in previous races.

We also had three runners out because of injuries. I am hoping with the right amount of rest and ice they will be ready for the next meet as it will be our first conference dual meet.

It was the perfect day for running, mid-60s and overcast. This is a very nice course and both boys and girls' teams like running there.

They ran during the hottest part of the day. The course really doesn't have any shade; it is all out in the open. I think it got to some of them.

Although the boys' team ran some of their best times, we didn't have the depth we needed to win these meets.

I knew going into the meet that it would be a close race for the girls' team. I told them that our teams are very similar and they were going to have to work extra hard if they wanted to bring home a victory.

I have two guys who have the potential to go to state this year.

In the first mile and a half of the race, we were beating Napoleon by one point and were up by even more to Vandercook.

I am very proud of him; he works hard at every practice.
