Coaches Corner
"It was great to have the whole team at the same meet this weekend. I think it's good when the different event groups can watch each other compete and just get to hang out together during travel and the meet."
"Our team had another phenomenal meet. We had 16 top-ten performances, including a school record and 8 additions to the national list. I didn't know if we're going to be able to beat last week but this week was up there too."
"This team just keeps getting better each week. It's been fun to watch so far and I know there's lots more to come!"
-Head Track and Field Coach, Anne Cleary
