Ricky's Quotes

by Ricky Quintana

Smoky Hill CO's Megan Kaltenbach was expected to waltz her way to victory here, but a sickness which required her to take anitbiotics for twelve days and two college visits took their toll.

Hawthorne Christian NJ's Lindsey VanAlstine charged out to a ten second lead with a 6:00 mile and by a mile and half had ten second lead over second place. She hit two miles in 12:22 with no real challengers in site. Kaltenbach was still running well despite her illness as she and Killingly CT's Meghan Owen battled it out for second place.

Ahead, a tiring VanAlstine went off course. A spectator on the course yelled and the trailing Owens pointed the correct direction. VanAlstine got back on track, but Owen was now in the lead and held it to the finish to win. VanAlstine was second.

Behind them, Megan Kaltenbach began to struggle and fell off the pace dramatically over the last mile. Younger sister, Katelyn, gained momentum over the last kilo to catch her sister and finish third.

Owen: She had a pretty substantial lead going into the last mile. I was feeling pretty strong though and was trying to catch her. I turned into the woods back there the second time and I saw her going straight. Someone yelled and she turned around and came back. I pointed to her to go the right way. I took the lead and kept pushing from there.
RQ: Did you feel like you were going to catch her?
Owen: I would have liked for her to run the right way to see how we could have pushed each other. It didn't work out that way. I knew she was in the area and I kept pushing and pushing until the end. I didn't know where she was in relation to me.
RQ: There were a lot of good runners here. How did you feel winning this race?
Owen: Coming here, I knew that there were people coming here who went to nationals last year. I knew Megan Kaltenbach was here. She's a phenomenal runner. I knew I was going to have a lot of competition. I prepared myself to see where I was with my training. I didn't expect to come in here and win. I was just going to use it as a measuring mark for my training at this point in the season. It was kind of unexpected. I'm really happy.
It's still early. I still have to keep up my training and try not think about it.
RQ: How do you feel about your fitness?
Owen: I trained a little bit during the summer. I'm not really high mileage. I feel like I'm ahead where I was last year. Maybe it's because it's my senior year and I want to go out in every race and not feel the pressure. I feel less pressure every race. I'm kind of doing it to enjoy it and not think about what everyone else thinks.

Megan Kaltenbach: I've been sick for the last 14 days. I've gone on two recruiting trips the last two weeks. I wasn't home Monday or Tuesday and came here on Thursday. I'm going to be gone until Monday. I'm going to UNC and then CU and then Stanford. I've been sick, flying, the plane. It's not good.
RQ : Why did you decide to come?
Kaltenbach: I thought I could do it, but my breathing the first few minutes was wispy. I just thought I should go for it anyway.
