Examples of starter in a Sentence

  1. Sally Pearson:

    The way I ran at nationals was a relief more than anything, i've been trying to change my race a bit, especially my start, working toward getting it back to the good old days in 2011 and 2012 where I was the best starter in the world, and( until Brisbane) my start had been a bit off this year.

  2. Todd Bowles:

    We’ve probably all been in situations, whether it’s high school, college or pro, where we’re the incumbent starter, and there’s a new freshman, there’s a new rookie, there’s a highly recruited guy, i’ve always believed in, the starter shouldn’t have to go out of his way, because he’s got a lot of things to deal with. But definitely be open to questions and help the growth and development of a younger quarterback, yeah.

  4. Chad Kuhl:
