Garretson coaches Jason Bohl &
Jeff Sylliaasen discuss course strategies as
runner Charlie Ward ponders the fact that he is
the lone man qualifying this year.
"It's been tough without my team, but it's
my second year so I am not as nervous as last

aren't too tough on him," joked coach
Sylliaasen. |
