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.
More Quotes from John McDonnell:
We had some young guys with their backs against the wall. We got a bad call that never should have happened. They were not going to let someone come in here and steal the national championship, which is what the referee tried to do. We had several guys perform above what was expected and they showed a lot of heart.John McDonnell
Kenya has a lot of great runners. Being a world-class runner is the thing to do over there. It's like hitting home runs or wanting to be a great baseball player. Being a great distance runner is everybody's dream there.

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.

We do need to score more goals and I feel if we can score first we'll be really, really hard to beat.

I was thrilled. It hadn't crossed my mind that it would happen. ... It's a great honor.
