?Overall I thought we ran very well,? head coach Gary Stanley said of his team?s performance. ?We won a lot of the events we were in, and it was as step in the right direction.?

Tech posted good numbers in most of the events participated, starting with the nationally fifth ranked women?s 1600 meter relay team that finished first in their event with a time of 3 minutes, 47.25 seconds.

?We ran a different line up than we normally do,? Stanley said. ?I was very pleased with the way they ran.?
