Quotes and Notes
"It was a nice start to the season. The weather made things difficult at times, but we had some really good attitudes and effort from the athletes. 

Gianna had a big day getting the win in the discus in her collegiate debut. She had a really strong meet with a nice hammer PR as well. 

Annalise got a big win in the javelin for us to start her season on a strong note. It is always great to see the javelin throwers have success. They wait all year to throw and it is great to see them have success. 

Liz doubled back from the 1500 to get a nice win in the 800." - Rider Director of Cross Country, Track & Field Bob Hamer.
