Quotes and Notes
"We had a few standout performances today to highlight the second day. It was great to see DuBard smash his own Rider Record in the shot put with a mark of 17.52m. The shot was the last event so he sat around all day waiting to compete and he gave the team a show. He's had a great series today. He's been on a tear this season. He and Coach Thomas deserve a lot of credit.
It was nice to see Bado look good this weekend after battling an illness. He is a big part of our success so we need him ready to go when it matters the most.
Noah Lawson had a big day in the shot put today. He has worked real hard and I am really excited to see him having success.
Josh Burgess has made some really big steps in the long jump over the last few weeks. He is definitely trending in the right direction."
