Jason Dunn Last Quotations

I think, for both teams, we want move up in the rankings a little bit over where we were last year and where we were indoors. I think we usually consider ourselves a better outdoor team than indoor team, especially with some of the events that are added into the program on the outdoor track.

I think that we are building upon what we did last year. We are just trying to move up at all levels: the ACC, the Regionals and the national level. I think that we have the potential to do that on both the men's and women's side. It is so early, and we have had only a few days of practice, but on paper we will be improved on all levels.

Two years ago we were not where we'd like to be. Last year we improved quite a bit. We definitely have some stars on the women's side that can score some points.

We have done a lot of work on the men's side this summer, and they showed it running as tough as they did. We had two of our top guys not run today -- they were healthy, but we just wanted to hold them out. We are really good on the men's side -- we are thrilled. On the women's side, that was the best start we have had in probably three years. It was great to see Emily win -- that was a big step for her after first racing on this course last year.

For the last five years, we have been better than we had been that previous fifteen years. We have gradually gotten better every year. This year we are the best we have been with our personnel and the level of fitness. I certainly think that the men can get themselves to nationals and finish really high. We really want to win the ACC Championship. It has only been done once in school history.
