Ricky Quintana: How are you feeling?
Christian Wagner: I'm feeling really strong today. I was just out for a run and was feeling really good.

RQ: Did the Midwest Regional race go as you had hoped?
CW: It qualified, so I had a pretty decent race. You had to run a pretty good time just to get out, so I'm happy with it.

RQ: What is you outlook for Foot Locker this year?
CW: I'm just hoping I can run strong this year. I didn't have as good a race as I would have hoped last year. Hopefully, I can come back from that and have a good one this year.

RQ: Last year, you ran a monster double at your state track meet. You ran 4:07 and then came back and ran a 8:55 two hours and 40 minutes later. Are you feeling like you are in that kind of shape?
CW: I think I'm in a little better shape than I was then, so hopefully it will be a good race. I was just feeling really good that day. It all comes down to how you are feeling that day, I guess.

RQ: What do you think about the course?
CW: It's a pretty nice course. All the places that are on grass are just nice and flat and hard packed. It's got a couple of nice hills in it, so it should be pretty interesting.

RQ: Is there any place that is a key point to you?
CW: Not really. It's just kind of goes as it goes. I'm just going to figure out what I'm doing once I'm out there.

RQ: What kind of time do you think will win this?
CW: I don't know. Anywhere from 14:45 to like a 15 flat. It all depends on how the race is run and who is going to make moves at what point. We'll see tomorrow.

RQ: Who do you expect to be the guys to watch?
CW: I'm really not sure. There are a bunch of great guys here that are going to be out hammering for it. It's just going to come down to who has it tomorrow.
