 Hello and welcome to the Dave Radan show presented by Buffalo Wildlands. I'm Greg Royce showing my students the head track and field coach Dave Radan. The coach doesn't feel like it, but it's spring out there, but first we'll wrap up the winner and the NCAA and indoor nationals where you had three student athletes compete. You had Derek Davis, Kim Ray Hammond and Richie Case, so kind of talking about how all three of them did up in Boston. Yeah, so I mean it was a really good experience for all three of them. The thing is that all three of them are underclassmen with Derek only being a sophomore and Richie a sophomore and then Kim only a junior. Derek just missed making the final in the 60. It's kind of like, I mean just a couple tenths of a second out. But again, great experience and then Richie and Kim again, great experiences. They didn't do as well as they would have liked to, but it's okay. I mean it's such a different event and for them to get to experience it knowing that they get to go back next year potentially. Yeah, I think that's the big thing is really your first time. We've had this conversation before where really your first time is kind of get your bearings, kind of get your feet wet. It's hard to go in there the first time and really maybe do quite as well as you'd like, but once you get that experience it certainly helps you going forward. Yeah, absolutely. It's really nice to, like I said, to have that experience as an underclassman because now they know what to expect next year. It's such a different event compared to everything they went to throughout the season. Yeah, absolutely. All right, and this past weekend you opened up the outdoor season with a meetup at Weiner and some school records, some personal best and some top times in the region of the country to kind of talk a little bit how that went for you. Yeah, so I mean across the board it was a great weekend. I mean it was tough to even like really single people out because it was such a great event just across the board and every event, I mean every event group. We did have a few school records, Pat Watson and Emily Gates in the 10K and then Forest Allen in the hammer throw. Yeah. And then I think we had something like 15 personal bests. Yeah. So it was a really good weekend. Yeah, that's certainly encouraging that you have students getting their personal bests this early because obviously, you know, like we talked about there's a month until the conference meet which is also at Weiner, so that's also another advantage is that you were at a meet, you know, where you're going to be competing, you know, in about a month for the conference site also. Yeah, definitely. So really, like you said, I mean first meet of the year for us outdoors to have that many great results is definitely encouraging. Yeah, absolutely. You know, you've got, like you said, you've got a few meets coming up. You know, I had in a row when I believe this weekend. And then, you know, you're at Hopkins. So obviously, you've got some meets coming up to prepare, but you know, really like you said, it's about a month until that conference meet. So it's really a short compact season. So, you know, how do you handle that with training and everything else? I mean, it's challenging, but I mean, the coaching staff is really creative with figuring out just their workouts and where they're practicing and things like that. But I mean, we're confident just with the way things went this weekend that, I mean, given another month that will be even better. And then hopefully after that, we have a bunch of people going to the national championships at the end of May as well. Yeah, absolutely. All right, Coach. Well, I wish you and your athletes the best of luck. And I will chat probably right before the conference championship. Thanks, Greg. All right. For David Dan, I'm Greg Royce. This has been the David Dan Show.
