Matthew Folsom & Eric Van Laningham (Cooper High School Boys Head Coach)
Folsom- What were your thoughts coming into the race?
Laningham- I knew that we were really fit. I knew I had four guys that were really fit, and I thought that they would be in the top 10. I knew there were a few individuals around here who were really strong; I’m glad that they could push us. I was just kind of waiting to see where the rest of the guys really were. I wasn’t quite how fit they really were, if they were really far ahead of that second tier just because they’re so good, or that second tier wasn’t really as good as I’d hoped.
Folsom- Now have you had any meets leading into this, or is this your first meet of the season?
Laningham- We have had a couple time trials: two mile time trials. So I had a decent idea where people stood on the team. This was our first invitational, first meet, first time against anybody else.
Folsom- What are your thoughts going forward from here?
