"I have planned out everything, looked at all of the events and we have  covered everything," said head coach Ringo Adamson.  "We are four deep in every event except for the weights, we have two.  We have to go in there and in the races that you have to advance to the finals, we have to get enough people to the finals then we can score."
 
"That is the first thing we need to do," continued Adamson.  "In all of the other events, we can't have any waste of effort if we can allow it.  We need to score points as we go.  We are pulling enough tactics to maximize in every one of the events that we can to be successful."
