SAY WHAT...
"Beautiful weather greeted the athletes for today's UNF Invite. It was awesome having the opportunity to honor our seniors. We had many great performances from lots of different folks. We will take a week off from competition before returning to action at South Carolina on the 22nd and a few distance runners heading to Georgia Tech on the 21st. We are in the home stretch of the season, so it was definitely good to see a few more Ospreys put good marks on the board as we start preparing for the ASUN Championships. I want to say a special thank you to Senior Associate AD Ervin Lewis and his crew along with the officials and volunteers who always make our events great meets for the participants." -- Head coach Jeff Pigg
