“The guys really responded to the challenge of rebuilding the team,” said Smith. “We had some young guys that really came through and some guys with experience who ran the best races they've ever run. We had five guys run their best at nationals and that's hard to do. I'm just thrilled. They worked hard. They earned it.”
