After the event head coach
Cyrus Hall noted"We ran really well today. Obviously the highlights of the day were our Men's 4x100m relay qualifying for Nationals and Kam qualifying in the 100m.
But I thought our women ran really well this weekend. They are starting to round in to shape. I really like what they did. They will need to continue to get better to score at conference.
We will split the squad next weekend. Taking some kids to North ate as and resting the rest.
Looking Ahead:
The track and field team will head to Denton, TX, to compete in the Mean Green Relays hosted by the University of North Texas on April 6th.
