Quotes and Notes
"We had some strong performances today at the Mason Spring Invitational. This is a high level meet that provided a lot of top notch competition for our athletes. We had some athletes that definitely rose to that occasion. We had hoped to get more athletes to compete at that high level but we will need to keep working at it."
"Riches had another god day in the vault finishing 4th and getting the ECAC standard again. She is consistently vaulting at a high level and competing with the best in each meet. She is really working hard to get to that next level as a vaulter."
