 the Eric Camadeca show. I'm Joe Wombo, joined with Eric Camadeca head coach of the indoor track and field teams. And Coach, we talked last week about the Mac meet that you guys went and competed in this past weekend. I don't know if we were expecting this type of performance. Yeah, it was pretty crazy, just from a team standpoint as well as individuals. The individuals really stood up this year. We went from scoring 15 points on the women's side to scoring 100 this year, going one through four in the weight throw to begin the meet for the women and then the men's DMR team winning the DMR, setting a meet record was just a great start to the meet. I think those meet records coming out of the bat were just the way to make this statement. We're here and we're competing. And you told us before we started recording, six, was it five guys in the 60-meter dash? Yeah, five guys made it. We had lined up five guys in the prelims. All five made it through to the finals. We ended up going one, three, five, and I think seven, eight. Devonte ran out of his mind this weekend, setting the meet record in that, putting himself number 10, I believe, in the country in the 60s, so he'll most likely qualify for Nationals in that event. Then he followed up in the 200, held off the guy from Miss Accordia to set a huge meet PR, put himself number two in the country on that list. So we were expecting some big things coming out of him. But the other guys followed up too. We went, I think, five and seven in that as well. It's just incredible. It seems like every week we're talking, there's personal records being set, and then meet records being set, school records being set. What does that do in terms of motivation or preparation, getting in ready for the ECAC meet this weekend? Part of the whole recruiting pitch was when I first got here, was we wanna make ourselves a national caliber program, and being able to do stuff like this really shows that these kids are buying in and that we're getting that level. I'm going to ECACs. If we really went after ECACs, we're giving some people a weekend off and some break, but there's a chance that we could win ECACs as well. So this is showing the improvement of our program. And a lot of, maybe not so much expectations to win events in the nationals in the coming weeks, but at least be top finishers. Yeah, absolutely. We don't wanna put that pressure out there. They kinda know what they wanna do right now. We know what they want them to do and what they're capable of doing, but hopefully Devonte becomes an all-American to events. Danika, she goes out there, throws like she's capable of doing. She could be an all-American as well. And again, that puts us on the mat. It absolutely does. All-Americans are just being at the nationals and at ECACs and finishing well does a lot for the program in terms of recruitment and retention. Absolutely. And this is gonna be the first time a woman's ever qualified for a national meet this year or for the program as well as the first time that I've ever had athletes qualify for indoor national. So it's just really, really great for the program. And very exciting for everyone. And it's a couple of weeks away, but the outdoor portion of the season right around the corner, what does indoor, the finishes that we've been having an indoor track and field do for expectations of outdoor? Yeah, we wanna carry the momentum that we have from this indoor season. We also need to give them a little bit of a break. So after nationals, some people are gonna have, or even going to nationals, everyone who's not going there is gonna get a little bit of time off to kinda rest, recuperate. But we wanna pick back up. Some of us will be competing on March 19th. And again, right out the gate, we wanna hit some of those Mac qualifying standards. And without trying, hopefully just go out there and compete and hit those ECAC qualifying standards. Well, coach, we wish you the best of luck and congratulations in all those, the awesome finishes at the Mac meet. He's Eric Camadeca. I'm Joe Wamba and this has been the Eric Camadeca show.
