The strength of our defense will come from a veteran group of returnees, ... We have a lot of experience in Kara, Kristen, Carolyn, Christina and Rachel and I will look for them to lead this team. The freshman class will add to the defense with their speed and athleticism, thus giving us a very strong back line.
- Anne MooreProbably the biggest thing to look at is that our returnees made such a significant improvement. We competed without Neoma Palmer, who was actually our No. 1 (finisher) a year ago.
- Kelly SullivanSomaliland and Somalia at large have been receiving now hundreds of thousands of returnees that they had to accommodate with very small resources.
- Alfredo ViegasI`ve told her (in the past) help is coming. Between (last year`s returnees and this year`s incoming freshmen) we`ve got the talent to put together a real good state team and to get some relays as well as individuals back (for the finals).
