COACH’S COMMENTS

True competitors rise to the occasion. To absolutely no one’s surprise, you produced season-best performances in 13 different events tonight! It says a lot about your character, hard work, and preparation that despite cold, windy, and rainy conditions 19 of you qualified for State in 10 events! This was the meet we were pointing to all season long as the culmination to our Championship Week, and once again our team asserted itself as one of the best teams in eastern Iowa and—if all goes well next week—in the entire state as well!

As often happens with success, though, there comes tribulation and disappointment. We learned some important lessons tonight that I hope remain with us in the future. A relay that we expected to earn a medal at State didn’t finish the race, because we didn’t apply the rules; two other relays that were contenders for State berths were disqualified, because of mental mistakes; and Sahvanuh came up just short in the 400H with her first “off” race in two years. There were others of you who also weren’t satisfied with the outcome of your event. Sometimes a poor performance is the result of factors that are outside our control, and we have to accept a disappointing outcome with grace and no regrets. Other times, a disappointment should challenge us to become more knowledgeable about our sport, or to learn more about ourselves as athletes. Each of us should learn from watching and listening to each other, because we succeed or fail the same way—always as a team.

As the saying goes, with every cloud there’s a silver lining, and tonight’s silver linings came in the form of two surprise qualifiers for State. First, Erin produced the best throw of her life to qualify in the discus, knocking off a number of other girls who had been throwing farther all season long! Second, the 800 sprint medley produced an exciting race down to the wire with three rookie State qualifiers! Whether your season ended tonight or you get to compete next week in Des Moines, you all should be proud of how you performed tonight!
