Matt Baum (flrunners.com)- You were the top finisher from Florida today in the Race of Champions, so I'm guessing you were rather pleased with your performance.

Mallory Wellman- Yes, it was pretty exciting. The course was really tough, but I guess I did OK.

MB: Did you happen to catch any of your splits?

MW: I don't know what my splits were because I was trying not to look at my watch because I have a problem doing that. I realized that the course was slow today, so I didn't want it to bring me down. I just out there and did my best.

MB: This was a pretty big race for you and your team.

MW: Yea, this was a big race me because colleges are out here looking at you and you want to look your best and I wanted to help my team a lot.

MB: How do you think the team did?

MW: I think the team did the best they could today. Everyone needs to imporve. Courntey will be back in full action soon. We all just have to her time, but she's doing a lot better.
