In discussing the teams season long preparation, Schlentz went on to say, \"It had it\'s down side as well. At the Group meet we were so focused on our time we lost sight of the race and ran horrible. Only Ashley raced the competition, instead of the clock.
In running a near all time best team average on Saturday, the team realized their goal and locked up the automatic bid to the season end Nationals Race. Schlentz continued, \"At the MOCs, we got back to racing and we forgot about the clock. We ran better and as our focus has been all year.\"
\" We will be ready physically and mentally for NTN. We are just starting to cut back.\"
