After the meet, head coach
Cyrus Hall cited, "It was a cold, miserable day today. We competed hard. Just hard to see good results in 40 degree weather.
I thought Landry & Carlos (1500m) and Chuy (800m) ran well today. Good to see them improving.
Joe Greaves had a good day. He hadn't completed since high school. But he jumped well and should be able to help us at SAC next weekend.
We are excited to go to JBU next weekend and see how we stack up against the rest of the Sooner Athletic Conference".
The Aggies are now preparing to head to Siloam Springs, Arkansas, where they will compete in the Sooner Athletic Conference Championship hosted by John Brown University. The championship meet is set to take place on April 26th and 27th.
