I'll tell you one thing, I think this was the best NCAA meet as far as the crowd goes. It was packed. I don't think we could get another body in here. I was really happy with the fans. They really supported us. If you can't get excited about running in this kind of atmosphere, then you are in trouble.
More Quotes from John McDonnell:
We do need to score more goals and I feel if we can score first we'll be really, really hard to beat.John McDonnell
I knew this would be a really tough meet. There were four teams that could score from 45 to 50 points. It was sort of like a jigsaw today. We held our ground and didn't make any mistakes. The other three teams made some mistakes. But, I don't worry about the other teams. I just worry about doing everything we can correctly. Then we let the chips fall where they will.

We are ahead of where I thought we would be by two points. Florida State has a lot of great bullets and Texas and LSU, but we are on line to do what we are capable of doing.

It was our distances and jumps today and they put on a show. The jumpers did great and the middle distance and the distance runners really were on pace. We had a lot of guys raise their performances and that is what you have to have to win a championship.

Conference wasn't looking very good. Now this should certify some guys who haven't done a lot. They are going to say, 'Wow, it's time for me to bring my dime into the cause.

I put too much pressure on them. I kept telling them one more thing, and before the competition started, they were basket cases. The next year we won the national championship. I just told them once what they had to do, and they got it done.
