Mike Stevenson Good Quotations

(Pickford) did a good job and we're real pleased with the way she has evolved. Her mental side is starting to catch up after a rough start. It was just a mental thing for her, she just had a hard time getting her step off and couldn't get her foot to land at the specific place.

We hope (Gilson) has a really good hammer competition and she hasn't made a regional mark in the hammer yet. I'm also looking for them to do well in the discus as well.

Traditionally it's a pretty good meet and it depends on what teams go. Northern Iowa itself is a very good team and they have a bunch of All-Americans on their team.

There should be some good teams and tough competition. It's going to be good for us and hopefully we have a very solid performance by everybody across the board.

We're going to try to knock off a little rust with a high quality meet with good competition like (University of) Alabama and Brigham Young University. We don't have enough people to run the women's distance relay and we have issues with kids competing in more than one event being so close to each other they might get tired out.
