QUOTES FROM THE GATORS (Courtesy USATF Communications) Cory McGee For today’s race, I arrive today really excited and feel ready to race. Being in the third heat, I knew we had the power to run a little faster and qualify everyone in our heat if we were running fast enough.

With the race tight, I knew I had a lot of stuff left in the tank just to get ready for the next round.

On the sequel Many of us were dying to be here, it’s only been two years of work that I’m finally going to be able to put it into it

The rest of the day we’re running tomorrow, I’m just going to take some protein and lay down and have a nice dinner and do the same tomorrow.

On what clicked today Trust, just feel cold, just be in my zone. And having people I love in the stands makes a big difference. I feel good, my people are there. Of course, you have to be prepared for anything, but it’s really just avoiding trouble.

On the competition It’s the best competition I have faced so that puts things in perspective.

Taylor Manson On what she was looking for, I just wanted to go out, I was working on it lately. I wanted to end up somewhere comfortable. You have the Big Q.

Sure if it was comfortable It was comfortable, put on enough to end up in this great Q spot.

On the way she trained So much training, off season training, getting up early. I’ll give it my all this weekend.

On the difference between the preliminaries and the semi-finals Make sure you have a solid finish, a faster time. Honestly, the same race I had today, except I’m faster and I’m in the final.

Back in Hayward, I was here last week for the national championships.

What did you do after NCAA, I rested, we trained in LCC, hydrating, recuperator, nothing too crazy.

Ryan Willie On the race Everything went well. Exactly what my trainer and I planned: get the top 3, move on to the next round. Proceed. Trust the process.

On the program for the semi-final Keep qualifying. Let go of the times in this event.

This is his first Olympic trials. It’s a great feeling, such a wonderful experience. I can’t describe it. Just to watch everyone. Watch, run. Since this is my first year as an NCAA athlete, just being here is amazing.

On its competition My confidence is there. I just have to go faster, go faster. And keep going. Other than that, it will be fine.

On his state of mind in the semifinals Make sure I go out. And build on those last 200. Finish.
