 Hello and welcome to the Dave Radan show presented by Buffalo Wildlings. I'm Greg Royce, shown by Stevenson Track and Field Head Coach Dave Radan. Coach, we are busiest weeks of the year, we are biggest weeks of the year coming up. Matt Coffin's championship this weekend, it's Friday and Saturday at Alvernia. Talk about kind of the state of the team heading into the weekend. Yes, I mean both teams are really positive. I mean the men, they've won the past two years so they would really like to win it again, but we really try to emphasize that it's not a given and I think it's going to be closer than ever. I mean two years ago we tied with Weidner, so I'm thinking it's going to be a really close meet on the men's side and then the woman we're looking to improve on the top five finish from last year. Yeah, absolutely. First you know on the men's side obviously you know had several outstanding individual efforts from Pat, Idris, Derek Davis and Scott, you ranked 11th in the country right now but obviously that's you know those are some of your top marks and obviously the win in any conference championship and that depth and I know that's something you've been searching for here the last seven weeks. Yeah, we've been really trying to figure out who's going to do what events because we are kind of lacking that depth right now but we're really hoping that some people step up and score points when they're not expected and that'll kind of help the team achieve their goals. Yeah, and then talk about the women's side you know obviously you know the big story is obviously Danika and kind of the year she's had, she's kind of had a monster senior year so far and you know obviously you don't have that throws group you had last year to get you quite as many points she should probably go out and get you some points this weekend and then talk about something other people on the women's side as well. Yeah, so we definitely have Danika and the weight throw and the shot put I think she's the top seed in both but then also Junior Emily Gates and the distance races has seeded pretty high up there and then some other distance runners like Michaela Sabo, another sprinter Riley Hinson like what is looking again just like the men's side just to really kind of fill in those gaps in all the different event groups. And you talked a little bit about it obviously you know the women trying to improve on their best finish which is fifth and I was the men trying to repeat you know that's exactly where you know the conference poll came out you know yesterday and the men were picked first and the women were picked fifth so you know hopefully you know on the men's side you stay there and hopefully the women's side can improve a little bit. Yeah that's the goal but like I said I mean it's definitely going to be exciting weekend it's going to be really close meet. And then I'm just talking about you know new venue this year Alvernia's new into attractive city had chances of checking out a few weeks ago you competed to meet up there you know what your thoughts on that and competing in a new venue. Yeah so I think it's really great to have a meet the actual championships at a school within the conference so it's really exciting I mean Alvernia's new facility is really nice so we're really excited to compete there. Alright coach well thanks a lot we should best select this weekend and we'll chat again soon. Alright for David Dan I'm Greg Royce this has been the David Dan Show.
