“Being the returning state runner-up immediately put a target on Alex. I knew he had pressure on him to win it this year, but I don't think I realized how great that pressure was until after he won it, when he was talking about how it felt. I think he handled that pressure pretty well.”
Zach Errett
“I saw him bobble the ball and we had a great runner. Marcus is one of our fastest runners. I never hesitated to send him.”
Brian Joros
“If he stays healthy, he could be among the top 10 runners in the state meet. He?s that high caliber of a runner.”
George Patrylak
“A lot of the guys now are 400/200 type of runners. I don't think, being a 400-meter runner, you can sustain long-term performance in the event with just speed type of training. No one has ever been able to do it. So I think it is harder for them to stay in condition year round, especially for big meets, end-of-season major competitions and things.”
Edwin Moses
“We don't want to be a semifinalist or a runner-up. We want to be a state champion.”
Kevin Hunt
“The key was getting the lead-off runner on base. And then knowing we had to move the runners. They looked at me to call it (the bunt off), but I wouldn't call it off.”
