FROM HEAD COACH NIC FORTENBERRY:
"Our men's team isn't quite deep enough yet to challenge for a top-three team finish, but we certainly have some bright spots. Our 800 and relay events stood out amongst our conference competitors. We are excited about the development of our young jumpers, and anticipate being better in the outdoor season with the addition of a few new events."
"We are extremely excited about our third place finish for the women's team. Of the 14 student-athletes who competed, 12 scored points, eight scored individually. Now that we know what is possible for our team, we hope it is a motivator for them individually. Each person can contribute to something bigger than themselves."
