scrunners: How would you rate your performance at the state qualifier? 
watson: I would rate my performance as a warm-up and a little test for myself.  In the 100m, I wanted to push myself a little more than normal.  Being put in lane 3 is like a boost for me because usually the fastest is in lane 4.  But that helped me run my fastest time of the year so far and with that I felt really comfortable.  In the 200m, I can say I didn’t really try to push myself as hard mainly to save it because I knew what I had to do in the 4x400m to help lead my team to a qualifying spot.  Saving a little helped me run a great split in the 4x400 to get my team the win.

scrunners: Where you do feel this puts you for state? 
watson: I feel my performances put me in a good spot heading into Saturda...
