AJ Acosta - Acosta had on a "Johnny Damon Sucks" shirt when he stepped on
the track before taking it off as he was announced. "I'm not from here so I
thought I could hype up some fans from Boston," he said after the race.
Already some showmanship from the HS senior.
Michael Coe - "I felt good out there. I got clipped a little bit but it
didn't effect me much. I hope to get my times down by May and June, but for
only January, I'm happy. it's my first indoor race ever. It's a great
meet, the crowd really gets way into it."
