COACH'S QUOTE

"The team put together strong performances across all the events. We had  PRs from many different athletes and we as a staff could not be prouder of how much grit and mental toughness this group had. They battled tough weather conditions and some grabbed hardware to take home." -Kevin Gilhuly-
