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. I thought Louisa Washburn had a very solid showing in the pole vault. Alyssa Young was again very good and consistent in the high jump. It was nice to see Hallie Grimes run at a pace that continues to lead the ASUN. Overall, it was just great day." -- Head coach Jeff Pigg
