FROM HEAD COACH MARCUS EVANS
"Weather was not ideal so I was thrilled to come out of the meet with some PRs and strong showings. Our squad showed up with no excuses and executed what we asked."
"Distance is continuing to shattered their personal bests. Throws are gaining confidence every time in the ring. Sprinters, hurdlers, and jumpers are improving through hard training blocks."
"Roland Prenzler led the way wire to wire in his race. Conor ran great races in each of his events. Dan Card made finals in hammer. Kevy and Brandon had strong starts with top three finishes in their events."
"I love the momentum we are rolling with right now. I feel like week to week our athletes are stepping off the bus with the confidence to win events."
