Bob Swank Top Quotations

Having Scott in the top five made me very happy. We would like to have beaten Western, but we were two points short.

We talked before the meet about our top five average time last year in the county. Our average was 19:11 last year and it was 19-even this year. We improved 11 seconds. We had set a goal of at least 10 seconds. I was pretty pleased. Any time you take the top five you have to be pleased.

Out top five average was 18:18 which was 42 seconds faster than last week. That's a nice improvement and I'm pretty happy with that. Our top five split was 50 seconds and our top seven was 59 seconds. Team-wise we were third in our division, but it was third overall. I thought we ran pretty well. We just got beat by a couple of good teams.

With our top eight runners returning and the addition of two of the areas top eighth graders from last year, we are hoping for a very good year. We will find our how good very early when we go to Fountain Central in our first regular meet.

I look at the top five runner's average from this event, and Evansville Memorial was the only school to have a better average for the boys. I thought we stacked up pretty well as a team.
