Quotes and Notes
"The goal tonight was to take advantage of the great weather and get some exciting performances. In many ways, we accomplished that tonight.
We got some nice wins by Michael in the high jump, Ethan in the 800, Thomas in the 400 hurdles, and Justice in the javelin. These are impact athletes for us, and it is great to see them competing consistently at a high level.
The 400 hurdles was a standout event tonight with Cam getting the number 5 mark
all time and Cortland getting the number 8 all time mark. They have been working really hard the last few weeks, and it is showing."
