Hite on Kosten:
"She's a 50, 100, 200 girl and a really hard worker, which is part of what drew us to her. Her coach spoke to the fact that she's the hardest worker on her team and she's a great young lady. We have a tradition of very good sprinters, especially on the women's side, and I think Emily is going to come in and continue that tradition of excellence."
