TOP QUOTE
"We're coming off a good ending to the meet with the 4x4 teams. Two great times. It was a good opener for the ladies to win and beat a good Texas A&M team. We ended up 2nd on both sides, and it was solid for both our men and women. Overall, lots of positives. We just need to keep taking steps. There were lots of quality marks. Wil (London) had a super time. Kiana (Horton's) 200 was solid. I was pleased with Aaliyah (Miller) and Alison (Andrews-Paul). Jalen (Seals) and Alex (Madlock) had some great marks in the triple jump. We did have some disappointments, but a lot of positives coming out of this weekend." -head coach Todd Harbour
