QUOTING HEAD COACH JONATHAN HILL
"The Wildcat Invitational is a new spin on a historic meet.  This meet is a special opportunity for us to proudly host some other local colleges and provide a 1^st class experience for everyone involved.  We're excited to welcome a few GNAC schools and others from around the state."
 
"As we close in on the GNAC Championships, the descending list is starting to take shape and people across the conference are either playing defense or clawing their way onto the list.  We are pleased with our preparations and where we're at this point in the season.  April has "a look" and we're starting to look sharper and better understand our technical demands, exactly like this time of year demands of us."
