Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted June 12, 2022 "It was a disappointing weekend for our men, definitely a tough way to end the season but it's something we'll look at, and always look at win or lose, as we evaluate the year. I mentioned taking our lumps but this weekend is not the expectation and we'll bounce back. We had several first timers on both sides, men and women, in terms of competing at the NCAA Championships so some of those things take time to figure out." "Everyone that qualifies for the national meet wants to do well when they get here, and sometimes you have a bad race or a bad weekend at the worst time, or sometimes it's just an off day. Now you go back and figure out what didn't work this time so that it's better the next time." "I can't thank the fans enough for showing up like they did this weekend to support the meet and all the team and athletes. This was definitely a truer experience of Hayward Magic compared to last year's meet, and I'm glad that our team got to feel that." 1 1 1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck 1972 No. 3 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Haven't been as big a fan since Dellinger left. For some reason it's not the same. Seems rather than a team it's mostly a couple of studs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems rather than a team it's mostly a couple of studs. Dual meets were a big part of our tradition that seem to have disappeared. Miss the excitement of those against the Bruins and Cougars. That old fan-focused kind of event has given way to a more calculated, season long development of talent seeking to peak for the PAC12’s and NCAA. It’s still great, but I do miss those rivalries. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Ducky No. 5 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Puzzling that the Ducks weren’t the best finishers out of the pack. Not a good look for our recruiting effort. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
