COACH'S QUOTES
"Our women picked up right where they left off the indoor season," said head coach Mike Smith. "We have some very consistent performers that won events this weekend, and we have some emerging young people that are starting to show their talent."

"I thought our throws crew did a nice job against some very strong competition and I felt that some of our freshmen had some nice breakthrough performances. We have had a great week of training and we can head back home tomorrow knowing that we are ready for the challenges of the championship season that is coming soon."
