Big 12 Outdoor Quotes - Men's High Jump Champion
Dusty
On Winning The Big 12 Championship
“It felt really good. I’ve been trying to win this meet, indoor or outdoor for four years?I just hadn’t quite done it yet. Everything just seemed to come together today. We have been training pretty hard, I have made a few adjustments in my approach and my run felt comfortable. It just didn’t feel like I was trying very hard, and that is how it should be.”
On The Wind
“It makes it harder sometimes, it makes the bar move a little and it’s a little harder to keep the bar on. I don’t know if it’s the air up here or what, but people seemed to be hitting their jumps. I liked it here.”
On Making All Of His Jumps
“It was nice to go out on a make today. I was kind of feeling it, it’s a great place to be because usually you go out with an x by your name. It’s nice to go out with a make.”
On The Crowd
“I love it, it was a good energy. I like to get the crowd into it a lot, and I know some of the other guys do too. It gives you the feeling that people are watching and it pumps you up a little bit. I like it, that is kind of who I am?I like to be the center of attention sometimes, but sometimes it’s good and sometimes it is bad.”
On Setting A New PR And Big 12 Record
“Hopefully I can do it again. That was a really good height, even at altitude?I don’t know if that makes a difference but hopefully I can continue to take it to another height. Especially to perform like this at an event like this. I think the crowd and me making my jumps on the first attempt really helped me keep my head in it.”
