HEAD COACH ANDY MEYER
"Our freshman sprinter [Sage Davis] won the 100 against a tough field. She closed hard the last 40 m into a headwind to win. Sage also ran an impressive anchor leg in the 4x100."

"Abby Bateman ran well to win the 800."

"Nicole [Buehrle] had a great weekend. She had never ran the 3k steeplechase and won the race in her first attempt lead right from the start. She then won the 400 finishing into a strong headwind and closed hard to finish second in the 800."

"Hannah Salami also attempting her first ever race in the 400IM finishing second overall was quite impressive. Julia finished second in the 1500 ran a very smart race and had great position throughout to close hard."

"Overall girls did quite well for this race to get the results the ladies managed is a testament to their character and hard work!"

"The guys not to be out done, Josh had a great 200 m kick to go from fourth to second in the men's 1500. Mark and Jonathan ran well in the 5K to place third and fourth.
