 Hello, and welcome into the Eric Camadeca show. I'm Joe Wamba. Join now with Eric Camadeca, head coach of the indoor track and field team. Coach, it's been a while since we talked. A lot has happened. A lot of qualifications. Records being broken. Talk a little bit about those. Yeah, we took a weekend off last week to kind of just take a break from competing. And then this weekend hit us. And I mean, a lot of great performance is happening. Friday night, we were back up at Susquehanna. And on the women's side, Sierra Roberts had a really great day breaking the school record in the 200 and in the long jump, as well as qualifying in those two events. Just Riga finished second place overall in the shot put with a personal best of 1291. And then our women's four-way eight team did really well breaking the school record, just missing qualifying for ECACs. And Dion Hicks opened up in a triple jump and had a really good jump breaking the school record in that. And then we turn around to the men's side. And it was just a lot of great performance as well. The men's 60-meter sprinters had an awesome day. We had four different guys win their heat, all advanced to the final, with Devonte Williams breaking the school record. And then Matt Riggins actually ended up winning overall in the finals. And then on the jump side, Adam DiBugatti continued jumping really well. He was in an interesting situation. We made him pressure jump where he gave him one opportunity to get a good jump, took advantage of it, and ended up breaking his record. And then Steven Snead also had a great jump qualifying for ECACs as well. That's an interesting approach with Adam DiBugatti. Just giving him one chance and he rose to the occasion there. Yeah, you know, the Mountford Championships is gonna be a big time event. We have some really great triple jumpers and everyone's gonna be watching. All eyes are gonna be on these guys and to be able to be in a situation where you only got one jump to do it and for Adam to be able to do it on that jump. And not only win the event that day, but break the school record again was a really big opportunity for him. Yeah, a lot of records going down. That was one of the goals and expectations of the season that you had. Just talk about what that does in terms of driving some of the other athletes that are on the team. Yeah, you know, everyone wants to go to the next big meet. We have an opportunity this coming weekend to go to some big time meets. Some of our top women are gonna be going to Navy. This is gonna be the school's first time ever going to the Naval Academy to compete. It's a beautiful facility. Looking for some really great times. And then on Friday, we're gonna turn around with six of our top athletes and head up to Boston. We'll have Danika and Jess throwing shot point and weight up there. We'll highlight Devonte, Matt Riggins, and then Kelo and Adam as well up there on that very fast track. And then our distance team this weekend is gonna head to Haverford and really try to put themselves on top of the map with some quality performances as well as try and get some ECAC marks. Yeah, those qualifications that we've already had have been huge for the program and success and driving the athletes into the success. As we look at the schedule, there's only a couple more weeks before the Mac championship. This weekend is a big drive to get some of your top athletes higher up in the NCAA rankings. Yeah, this weekend is to try to get some incidentally qualifiers out of it and obviously guarantee our spot at ECACs. That's a big weekend for us. And then going into the following weekend, some of our top athletes will get that weekend off to kind of get ready for the Mac championship on the 24th and 25th of February. While on the 18th, we're gonna try to get some more Mac qualifiers or some of those people who need to tune up for their event will get that last shot. Well, coach, we wish you the best of luck in all these events and safe travels. Everywhere we're going to Navy in Boston, it's gonna be a lot of fun. Yeah, absolutely. He's Eric Camadeca, I'm Joe Wamba and this has been the Eric Camadeca Show.
