Pigg's Points (Comments from Head Coach Jeff Pigg)
"Noah beat a strong field in the 3000, utilizing a strong kick over the final 400 meters. He continues to improve and now we have come to expect him to race fast and compete for wins. He beat a very strong field and set the ASUN record. I'm really happy to see his dedication pay dividends at this meet."
"Jaasiel did a great job today. He was consistent and came through at the biggest college meet of his career with a win."Â Â
"The DMR had a runner-up finish but broke the school record. Timothy Doyle ran a great lead off followed by George Escobar's blazing 400m. Chris Robin had a fast 800m and Jared Vazquez anchored with another solid leg. They all ran well and I'm proud of the way they competed."
"Austin Thompson placed second in the pole vault. He was consistently clearing bars and continued to do well. His first attempt clearances were critical to his success. He did a very nice job."
