Coach Hager commented after the meet, "We had a really tough week of training. There's a lot of merit to fighting through that during a meet. It may not have been the day with the most PR's, but as I told the team 'we are always ready when we need to be'. I'm thrilled with our progress both training and competing to this point. It's hard not to be overly excited for E8's this early."
 
The track & field teams will be in action on Friday and Saturday, February 7-8 at Brockport University.
