PIGG'S POINTS
"Erica [Fisher] has been really sick and she looked very good and ran smart and tough. I thought that she did a good job. In the 5k, I thought Isa [Leen] did a good job. You could tell she kind of got overheated. The dew points were really high and it was a bit of a sticky night, but I thought she did a good job. It was a good meet for us. We're looking forward to tomorrow to come back out and line up in the high jump and a few other events. We hope for a good day tomorrow."
-- head coach Jeff PiggÂ
