  we can't bank on finishing in a top two spot

  going in trying to win the meet. It's going in

  trying to get as many kids to State as possible.

  If we win the team title, it'll be an added

  bonus to the night. To qualify out of our sectional,

  you're going to have to hit the qualifying mark. The
• 1:53
  timing system and tape measures don't care what you've done
• 1:56
  the rest of the season. It all comes down to
• 1:58
  performing that night and doing what you know you're capable of.
