QUOTING HEAD COACH JONATHAN HILL
"This meet will kickoff our indoor track season and we're excited to lineup against some outside competition for the first time this season. It's a December meet mainly focused on opening our speed/power group, so this early test is to see what we can carry over from practice to competition. For our returners, this is an opportunity to start their seasons off the right way and let go of old habits. For our newcomers, were expecting them to carry themselves with confidence and composure in their first time in Crimson & Black. We've got talent up and down the roster, men's and women's, in every event category."
