I woke up on Sunday in my new home of Baltimore, picked up the paper outside (already subscribed) and was happy to see a front page sports article by Chris Korman on Matt Centrowit Jr.http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2012-07-14/sports/bs-sp-matt-centrowitz-0715-20120714_1_matt-centrowitz-leonel-manzano-andy-powellThe article had some really great quotes from Andy Powell (and Centro Sr. of course).
Andy Powell said:
#1 On this year's Training/the OTrials:
"Really, he wasn't in great shape. He was not where you want to be. But now I really feel that he'll be that way as he hits the Olympics, that his training is leading well up to that."
#2 On last year's training before worlds:
"We switched up his training, did our own thing and tried to get him strong going into that. A lot of people hit speed work. We got him strong. I really wanted him to make the finals. That was the goal. I thought that'd be a nice place to start."
#3 On centro being ignored/clutch:
"I think he gets lost a bit because he does not always put up the flashiest training times. But he's clutch. He runs well when he needs to."
