RESULTS
QUOTING HEAD COACH JONATHAN HILL
"This was a very solid trip for a small group of our high performers. I wanted this group to get a national meet type weekend rehearsal- early flights, hotels, new track, etc. They proved they were championship ready with their performances. Day one was 8/8 personal bests and a new school record. Jaz and Dan were terrific and are heading in the right direction. Day two had Bauti, E'lexis, Boogy and Wes all qualify for finals and place. It was a really productive weekend."
