Tam got a nice win in the 800. He was hoping for a little faster time but he's been doing a really nice job of winning races this season. This will pay big dividends during the championship portion of the season.
Andrew Mateo put up a nice bark in the triple jump. It's been a strong event this season for the men and he is adding some great depth for us.
Ben Walls had a nice day in the shot. He's having a really nice freshman season."
