Chris Fox Kids Quotations

I thought the biggest success of the weekend was that the kids reacted well to the bad conditions. That they reacted positively, they didn't let it take away from their performance.

You don't put a lot of credence into a meet in March. Nobody's ready; it's not that we don't care, but March is nothing. We weren't worried about the results. The kids all ran the meet relatively beat up.

It was a nice start for this group of people that went. It was certainly very positive. Most kids ran faster than they ever have in their life, so that bodes well for the rest of the season.

You gotta believe you can coach. What works is getting the kids to believe in what you're doing. My guys at Auburn, if I asked them to run through a wall, they'd certainly give it a shot. I try to tell them how good I think they are and get them to believe they can be that good.

This is the hotbed of (high school) cross country running in the United States. Western New York has great distance running tradition, but we're gonna recruit the best kids in the state of New York and the best in the nation. We're not going to just be a regional program.
