"Our teams competed hard," said Head Coach
Gary Stanley. "We had several top 4 finishes and top 8 finishes today. I was proud of the efforts given on the track and the field. The relay teams had some exchange problems, but they were related to injuries. I'm glad that we have a week off for most of our kids next week."
"I am very proud of our women's hurdle crew!" said Assistant Coach
Steven Champlin. "The entire bunch competed very well, and
Kayla Watson is really starting to hit her stride! I'm excited to see how these young women progress as we get closer to the conference championships! As a sprints group, we have a lot of work to do, but this is a young squad, and they're starting to come together well."
