Coaches Comments
"Iowa Central has had quality teams and very talented athletes for a long time, the fact that this group is breaking records and moving the top ten list every week is really a testament to how good this team really is.  We have one more week before the regional championships to take care of qualifying a few more individuals and relays and then it's time to show the region that we're ready to compete," said Head Track and Field Coach Anne Cleary. 

"Our mid and distance runners continue to re-write our record books this weekend and season with many new Top-10 performances. It is even more exciting to witness some action in our women's field events.  We do not have a large group of women, but we do have a fine group of determined and hard working athletes. I am anxious to see what both teams do in two weeks at the Region Championships," said Coach Dee Brown.

The Tritons have their final regular season tune-up next Friday and Saturday at the SDSU Indoor Classic in Brookings, SD before entering the Championship part of their Indoor Track and Field season.
