- 1:20Speaker 1: Despite our small numbers, this team is defined by its character, determination,

- 5:12Speaker 1: one of the strongest members of the distance crew. Dunn
- 5:14Speaker 1: is a third year thrower that broke several personal records
- 5:17Speaker 1: during indoor season. We believe we have the potential to
- 5:20Speaker 1: be among the top teams in our conference by May.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Tekenbrock said to reach that level, the most important factors
- 5:26Speaker 1: will be staying healthy and continuing to improve week to week.
- 5:29Speaker 1: If we remain attentive to the little things and continue
- 5:32Speaker 1: to build confidence as a team, we expect to be
- 5:34Speaker 1: highly competitive throughout the season. Coach Emma Schoonover top returning

- 6:13Speaker 1: qualifying four a eight hundred relay. This is my first
- 6:17Speaker 1: year with the program, and while it is a small team,
- 6:19Speaker 1: we have a lot of hard workers who I think
- 6:21Speaker 1: will make a lot of personal growth over the course
- 6:23Speaker 1: of the year, Schoonover said, Together with some strong newcomers
- 6:27Speaker 1: coming off of the cross country season like Natalie Walsh
- 6:29Speaker 1: and Aila Stevens, I think the distance squad will have
- 6:32Speaker 1: a very good year again across the entire program. I
- 6:36Speaker 1: think these girls will have huge gains and perform well
