 Hello and welcome into the Eric Camadeca show. I'm Joe Wamba. Join out with Eric Camadeca head coach of the, well, we'll talk about outdoor track and field now. You guys go over to Goucher, kind of sort of, if you can call it a home meet, you know, you guys aren't too far away, and have a really strong performance winning on both the men and the women's sides. Yeah, it's exciting. You know, it's my alma mater to go back there and being able to win on both the men's and women's side of my alma mater was pretty awesome. So I told the guys and the women, I was really proud of them. But really this weekend was, was all about the women. I mean, they had a really solid performance across the board being able to win, to beat a team that won a national championship just a year ago. Yeah, and have strong individual performances as well as the team performance, I imagine is was a point of emphasis. Now, this week, you guys will be going out to Widener and have a stronger emphasis on the individuals. Yeah. So this past weekend, I told them go in, you know, it's going to be almost like a workout. A lot of people doing multiple events, which we typically don't do. But with being the first season meet, we did that. And now this weekend going into Widener, we're really going to focus on individual events. I'm not worried about team score. That means I haven't scored this weekend, which is nice. And another nice thing is, I mean, some of the guys are in girls are still resting. One is Tabonte Williams, but still on the women's side in the outdoor, Danika is still having a heck of a season. Yeah, Danika carried through, qualified for ECACs in the shot put, ended up winning the meet. Jess Riga had a really great throw in the shot put. Then Lauren Diocese, someone who was really a standout and she qualified for ECACs. And then we had Kira Noel, who qualified for ECACs. Actually, PRN from our high school, discus throw and by 12 feet. And this is the first time she's thrown in a collegiate meet the discus. So that was exciting. As you talk about these, you know, qualifications, the ECACs already a little early to talk about the NCAAs. But as you move into Widener, I imagine that's also going to be, you know, a point of emphasis and a goal is to continue the qualifications. Yeah, this weekend we're going to really focus, like I said, on individual events. We're going to try to either up those performances or lower our times, regardless of what the event is. So we're looking forward to that. You know, the men's four by two team hit the goal of what we wanted to do this past weekend. Now, you know, we're going to change some things up with them on the women's side as well. Try to run some faster times to get those performances out there. This Friday night's going to be a nice opportunity for the distance team to get out there and some probably ideal conditions and put down a good five K and 10 K as well. And this meet that is coming up, you mentioned, you know, competing on a Friday and then you guys are going to follow it up on Saturday. Of course, they're different athletes competing in these. But what does that do in getting you ready for multiple day events like the Mac outdoors and the ECACs and NCAAs? Yeah, this is nice. We like these multiple day events, especially for a distance team now, because there's not many opportunities for them to do back to back and outdoor, like you said, outdoor championships are grueling. It's a three day contest and be able to come back and some of these athletes will have to compete three days and stuff. You know, they're typically used to just doing one event, two events, one weekend, and that's it. Well, Coach, we wish you the best of luck and thank you for your time this week and safe travels up to Weidner. Great. Thank you. He's Eric Camadeca. I'm Joe Wamba, and this has been Eric Camadeca show.
