FROM HEAD COACH MARCUS EVANS
"This meet felt like a conference meet because of the size and schedule. Our groups are coming into form at the right time. We need some warmer temps to really get going but our team is really fighting through adverse conditions. It was exciting to see our team scrape for points through the day. This was a great dress rehearsal for the coming weeks."
