PIGG'S THOUGHTS

"Georgia Tech traditionally runs a great meet and it is one of the highlights of our schedule. We have always enjoyed racing there and have had a lot of success. It is a slight break from the Florida meets. We also get a chance to race some people who we don't see throughout our season. It will be a great weekend."
-- head coach Jeff Pigg
