QUOTES FROM COACH BRUESKE
On Berge's day one performances: "She started off really well with a season-best time in the 100m hurdles. We didn't get what we wanted in the high jump or shot put, but tomorrow is a new day. She's got some events that she can do well in tomorrow, and that's what we're going to emphasize to her. She still has a chance to have a high finish, and that's what we're going to stress to her."
