 Hello and welcome to the Eric Camadeca show I'm Joe Wombo join now with Eric Camadeca head coach of the outdoor track and field teams coach you guys traveled up to Widener competing two of the three-day events and a very solid performance especially on the distance team. Yeah Friday night kicked off very well for us Langston Gash, Sam McCauley and Ryan Siegel all had great performances. Langston qualified for ECAC's broke the school record with his 1505 into 5k and even Sam McCauley came out and had a great race breaking the old school record as well running 15 27 high and then Ryan comes back into 10k cold wet night but it was perfect for these guys so he comes back breaks the school record by over a minute I believe so it's a really good way to kick off the weekend. It seems like almost every time we're talking to you you're breaking some sort of school record or qualifying for ECAC's sometimes NCAA's is that a point of emphasis or is that just what's gonna happen out of the growth of the program? Yeah I think you're right there it's just a natural process of the growth of our program you know now I'm in my third full year here so you're really starting to see some of that transition of happening in our program and I just the type of athletes we get here we're just able to do that from a yearly basis is new records higher performances it's exciting. The type of athletes we get are you know one of them a special one is Devonte Williams who closed about a seven or ten meter gap to win a four by 100? It was a stadium stopper for sure we're sitting there watching and you know he's we're down a little bit in a four by one but there's a reason why we have Devonte out on the anchor you know he's our hammer but yeah he's down ten meters and we're just watching like man all right we're not gonna run as well as we thought and then all of a sudden the stadium is just quiet as it knows almost like it was free like everyone was free-spring besides him and he just breaks that ten meter gap gets to the top puts us in a position to win the event and put us in top ten the country in a four by one right now. He definitely can throw the hammer down and win some events for you guys another person that's great at throwing hammers is Lauren. Yeah she we're just joking around you know say hey you know how far you're gonna throw today we talked about maybe a meter or two here PR you know we've talked about qualifying for Penn Relays and she goes out and throws 40 over 48 meters which is very close to qualifying for Penn Relay so it's just really exciting to see her do that and then you know coach today is doing an awesome job with those throwers because Danica and Ari both PR throwing just shy 40 meters as well. And those have to be close if not school records. Oh yeah you know definitely Lauren's performance is a school record and Danica and Ari are very shy of qualifying for ECACs as well. Well coach it's been a you know great growth and progress made in this short portion of the season so far and we're all excited about what's coming next and you know can't wait for the next events. Now let's just hope for warmer weather and we'll be rocking and rolling for the rest of the year. Well coach we appreciate your time and good luck where you're going next. Great thank you. He's Eric Camadeca I'm Joe Wamba this has been the Eric Camadeca show.
