QUOTABLE...
"We don't have a large roster but everyone who competed did a great job today. I am super proud of the entire group. Eden took control early in her race and ran extremely strong the whole way to set the conference record. Freshman Brittany Lang had a personal best to provide us a great performance in the 3000m. Louisa Washburn skied to a second place finish with a lifetime best indoor mark in the pole vault. Our DMR ran a great race with Morgan Rodriguez controlling the lead leg and handing to Skye Zeller. Tayler Johnson rand a strong 800m leg and Mary Kate Thyfault anchored us to a solid second place finish. Tianna Hearn ran a huge PR in the hurdles. She entered the race seeded 9th and heads to the finals after running the fourth fastest time." -- Head coach Jeff Pigg
