ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JUSTIN JOHNSON
"We competed well today. Most of the team posted personal bests in their individual events. The team knew how important it was for us to come out strong this week and it showed in our results. While I am happy with the overall performance of the team today, we still have to make several improvements to make over the course of the season."
UP NEXT
CSUN will be entered in two meets next week. On. Mar. 18-19, the Matadors will be at the University of Arizona Willie Williams Classic. On Mar. 19, CSUN is at the Azusa Pacific Fronson Classic.
