Ricky's Quotes

by Ricky Quintana

Mountain View's Steve Strickland led Bobby Curtis through the first mile in 5:05. The Woodlands looked strong with three runners running in the top seven at the mile and four in the top fifteen.

At a mile and half, The Woodland's Brian Sullivan took over the leading chores as the runners made their way down a long downhill. Curtis was following closely in fourth.

Up the long ascent at two miles hit in 10:12, Curtis began to assert himself. Gaining a slight lead over the others, Curtis gained full control. Somewhere in the last 800 meters, Curtis made wrong turn that cut out the final outbound loop, and the next four followed him. Kingwood's Matt Munoz narrowed the gap. Curtis had enough as he powered away to the finish line in the final 300 meters. However, he and the next four runners were eventually DQ'd and Mountain View's Mike Steele was the winner.

Curtis: This is my first race so I'm racing conservatively. You can kind of tell what kids are going to go out and die.I kind of used that. Then around two miles, that's when the race started and I took the lead and I had a good finish. I'm pleased with my race, but the time is kind of slow. Whatever.
RQ: You looked like you were in control, but hen ran out of breath and went off course.
Curtis: We were on this line and then there was nothing in sight and then I saw these flags and a lady just standing there. I was waving my hands and she was just "I don't know." You could go straight out or go right where these ballons were.
I didn't know where to go. It could have been marked a little better.There were a couple of times where we'd be like this way or that way and then have to turn. That was kind of bad. Other than that, the course was nice. Great guys were running.
RQ: You beat some really good guys. Sullivan was in there and a couple of others.
Curtis: I've been doing a lot of strength work over the summer. I haven't really tapped into my speed. I think when I compliment that stuff with my speed I should be looking for some good races. I'm kind of peaking for Footlockers.
