ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JUSTIN JOHNSON
"We started this weekend with a strong showing on day one. The coaching staff challenged the team to continue to do what they've been doing all season and compete. When you leave the day with multiple personal bests in all areas; sprints, jumps, throws, and distance, you know the team listened and answered the call."

"This is a hot meet in terms of competition, and the team atmosphere is riding a positive wave of confidence and momentum into day two. We are enjoying the success, but the team knows the job is not finished."
