Quotes and Notes
"Lydia and Krisantha both ran really strong races in the 800 today. Lydia is really rounding into great form as we approach the championship season. She's had great races the last two weeks. Krisantha took a huge step forward today. She raced confidently today, and she was rewarded with an all-time top ten mark.
Gabby was really good in the vault today. It is a really strong event for us, and we need to be there because it is a great event in the MAAC. This will give Gabby a big lift as we approach next week."
