 Hello and welcome to the Eric Camadeca show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce joined by Stevenson Trackenfield, head coach Eric Camadeca. And Coach, busy week for you guys. I'm starting off mid-week, you found out. The first regional rankings came out. You were ranked second on both the men's and women's side. That's kind of a testament to the depth that we've talked about. Did you have them both sides this year? It's like a little bit about, you know, what it means to be ranked and, you know, kind of that honor for the program. Yeah, it was really exciting for us to hear that, especially the week before the pre-season rankings came out. And we weren't ranked. I was kind of shocked at first, you know, knowing what the team that we did have. And then after a couple performances came out that were calculated, you know, starting the year off number two on both sides. It's really important for me, especially because it shows that we have the depth on both men's and women's side and that both programs are growing at the same rate rather than one taking off and the other kind of sacrificing. So I think that this show is a really good job of the kids really working hard on both sides and the coaching staff making sure that we're getting quality athletes in on both the men's and women's side. Yeah, absolutely. And then this weekend, Friday, Friday night on Saturday, you were up at Bucknell for me up there. Me had a lot of Division I and Division II programs in addition to some Division III schools as well. And you guys, like I said, maybe Friday night start off a little slow, but Saturday you competed pretty well. I'm talking about the meet on Saturday. Yeah, so I'm going into this weekend. This is the first time that we actually had a two-day meet, getting us kind of ready for the conference championship since that's a two-day meet. We kind of saw the week catch up to us, you know, class to start this week for us. The kids were kind of tired Friday night, but they turned around, which was what we wanted them to do, going into Saturday and had some really quality performances across the board. Yeah, two years of stuff to me were obviously the relay teams on both sides, and obviously in the multi-events we had a pretty good show. And so obviously the men's relay set of school records. So talk a little bit about that performance. Yeah, that's an event that, you know, we're really trying to go after this year. We have a lot of talent. We have a lot of depth. Almost ten guys that can run that event. And for them to put down that time this early on in the season was really great. You know, we made a couple of changes on that, putting Kendall Belzer first, putting Matt second, Idris, we knew it was going to be a strong leg at third, and then we ended up moving Vlad from the B team up to the A team, and that worked out really well for us. And the same thing on the women's side. You know, we had a couple of people that we had to scratch out there, and we threw a couple of people in that never ran it before and opened up the year with that type of time in the women's side. It was really exciting. Yeah, and even in the men's side, even the B team I think still plays fifth, I believe. Yeah, and that's that again, that shows the depth that we had, that we had those ten guys, they ran like 332 or something like that, which, you know, would probably be the second ranked team in our conference right now behind our A team. Yeah, and then like I said, you know, some strong performance, and the multi, you know, Rachel and then Richie Case. Yeah, Rachel and Richie are great, you know, those two freshmen, they work really, really well with each other, even though, you know, the ones doing the heap and the ones doing the pent. Worked really well with each other. Off to a great start, you know, Rachel's having a little bit of trouble in the long jump. She keeps on fouling out, so, you know, there's another five, six, seven hundred points that she's leaving on the table there. And Kimberly Haven had a really good weekend too, and she's working well with everyone. Yeah, absolutely. I saw, you know, she had a good performance in the sprints and things like that. So this week you go up, you know, you're back in action, you're at Susquehanna this weekend. What are you looking for out of that? So we're starting to actually begin our taper for some and then others. This is going to be their last chance to try to get into the conference meet or kind of up their position in the rankings. So, you know, kind of at a crossroads between, you know, certain athletes shutting it down and other athletes just tuning up or trying to get to their, to the next level. Yeah, absolutely. That conference meet, you know, less than a month away. It's kind of sneaking up on everybody. Absolutely. All right, well, coach, we wish you the best of luck this week and thanks for joining us and we'll talk to you next week. Great. Thank you. I'm Greg Royce. This has been the Eric Hamadeca Show.
