I feel like we’re peaking at the right time. It’s good to see the kids being aggressive and performing well as we get closer to region. We have to keep our positive attitude moving forward.”

As for how Saturday’s meet went, Harris said, “I thought it was great. There was awesome competition, you couldn’t have asked for better weather, and we had great fan support. I want to say a big ‘thank you’ to our parents for all that they did to help out. Everything was a big success, and I think the kids really enjoyed themselves.”

Coach David Lennon from Whitley County added, “I thought Tyler did a great job of running the meet. Everything went smoothly, his support staff was tremendous, and my athletes had a great time while there.”

And as for how the Colonels performed, Lennon said, “I was very pleased with both our boys and girls. We were a little short handed on the girls’ side, but the athletes we did have worked really hard and gave a tremendous effort. Considering the limited resources we had I was very impressed with how they performed.”

“With our boys, we felt good coming in to the meet. The kids came out and worked hard, and it was very pleasing to come away in first place. We still have a lot of work to do, but it’s nice to be able to compete with some of these teams who have been strong for a number of years.”

Finally, Williamsburg’s John Harris said, “Saturday was a great day. We didn’t have our full squad with us because of prom and some other things going on, but we were very pleased with the effort put forth by our younger athletes. We still feel like there are improvements to be made, but we’re definitely getting there.”
