Quotable
Director of Track and Field Andy Eggerth
"We had a blend of performances today. Most were very positive moves in the right direction, but some of us think we're trying hard not even realizing how much more we're capable of when we get a bit tougher. When we get more comfortable being outside our comfort zone, we will begin to actualize our potential."
