Michael Stanton Quotations

She takes a lot of pride in what she does. And you don't necessarily see that in a lot of teenagers.

She's having her best season ever. She's setting personal records in the mile and 2-mile. She's running with the best in the county and scoring tons of points every meet.

She's coming in first and second place in every event she enters. That's fantastic. She's my No. 1 scoring senior.

Burying Katrina is the theme, getting some closure, just putting it to rest for a minute.

You can have a coach looming over you and watching your every move, but until you take it upon yourself to get better, you're not going to, and that's what separates her from the others.

When she came out for track we decided we were going to utilize her in as many events as we could, and my throws coach was like, 'Why don't we put her in the shot put?' - not really thinking that she was going to be that good at it, but maybe get some extra points in the district meet. We had no idea she was going to have the third-best throw at the regional meet. She threw it further than any girl I've ever coached at this school.

We're very fortunate in that we have two seasons. As soon as the spring breakers leave, the locals come back.

There's just not enough help to go around.

I shouldn't have too many reversal of fortunes. It's very awkward.
