Brian Smith Time Quotations

My teammates were great today. I'm especially proud of C.J. Knowland. I think he scored a big upset out there. I've spent a lot of time with him in the wrestling room, and to see him do this well in a big meet is great.

We hate that we won't be able to race at Joliet, but there just isn't enough time to get it done.

I love to see Tony doing so well at Leeds because, when I was coaching in England, and particularly during my time at Hull, they were always the team everyone hated, ... The perception was of Leeds being the millionaire club who never quite did it.

In my mind, he's one of the neatest success stories around. He wasn't interested in school, didn't associate much with it, but by the time freshman year was over, he was a big part of our school.

We spend so much time in the regular season getting ready for district. The good thing going in (at Clovis is that) they don't know anything about us either. And it's a chance for us to get better as a team, grow together. I've seen some improvements.

We felt this time we took a bit of a leaf out of Lance Armstrong's book. They looked at a bit of video of his mental preparation ... I think the boys got a little bit out of that sort of thinking.
