Quotes and Notes
"The men continue to show consistency through their performances and eye the MAAC Championships in three weeks. Damere had a great day for the throws group, getting a new #6 throw all time at Rider in the shot put. He had a great pre-season and it is exciting to see his marks show from his efforts
Camryn, Isaac, and Nathan all made the 60m hurdle final where Camryn's PB of 8.26 led our group. It's great to see three guys in a final at such a competitive meet."
