Wisconsin Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Mick Byrne comments in regards to the Minnesota Vs. Wisconsin Dual Meet:
"From our perspective, it gives our athletes an opportunity to go head to head in competition and ultimately that's what sports about, rather than just looking at times or distance or heights. So we're very excited about this weekend".
"It's a border battle. It's everything I think that all those sports that you mentioned have. It's the winner/loser. In our sport that's something new. We travel around the nation looking for fast times, looking for distances and heights".
"And I think we've recognized that in the sport. We've recognized that our meets, our invitational meets are way, way too long, boring. And this type of tight competition, four athletes from each team, I think people can relate to that. It's just on the line, head to head competition".
"I think both teams are going to bring a lot of energy. We have quite a few kids from Minnesota on the team. They have some Wisconsin kids. There's going to be a lot of energy in there from the fans".
"I mean it's bragging rights. Again we have a trophy. And we're going to keep an up to date running score of the team competition. So that energy, that passion, not just from the coaches, but also from the athletes. And I think the fans will buy into that".
Mick Bryne [right], his staff and athletes hosted an exciting day of track and field. An overflow appreciative crowd witnessed the first dual meet at Wisconsin in over 30 years. The meet was preceeded by a special event which allowed youngster to 'race' a 60 meter dash on the Shell straightaway. Each of the young runners received a special T-Shirt. Also young runners had a chance to have their photos taken with Bucky Badger and members of the Wisconsin track and field team.
