THE COACHES TAKE ON THIS WEEKEND:
»  "After months of hard work we're looking forward to competing and seeing how we stack up.  With every opening track meet we use this as a problem solving practice to determine where our techniques are solid under pressure and where we need to put in a little more work.  As always, I'm looking forward to some impressive surprises from some of our student-athletes."
 Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Andy Eggerth
