ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH JUSTIN JOHNSON
"I thought we could get a bit more out of the meet today. We had a few athletes seize the opportunity and put together some great races."
"I was impressed with the performances from Charne-Lee and Zavion in their respective hurdle races. I was equally impressed with Katherine in the discus and the men's 400m."
"As we head into our next competition, I expect our team to take full advantage of the opportunity in front of them."
