SAY WHAT...
"We took a limited number of athletes to today's meet but saw some really solid performances. It was a great meet and it means a lot to me for our team to participate in the event because I had the chance to work with Tom Jones for five years at Florida and he was a truly great person. Tyler Stahl ran a fantastic race in the 1500m and should be safely qualified in the NCAA East Regional. He has been running very fast recently so it's a huge deal to be able to improve his time by three seconds. Fynn Timm also had a fast performance in the 1500m. Noah Perkins looked great and ran very well in winning the 3000m." -- Head coach Jeff Pigg
