FROM HEAD COACH MARCUS EVANS
"Day one our team came with great fire for competition. We couldn't have asked for a better start to the championships."
"A school record at the top of the podium for our Women's DMR was the highlight. Alexis on the podium for Weight Throw was a great start to the day. We have more building for day two, and our team can continue to build on the momentum we created today."
