After the meet, head coach Cyrus Hall commented, "Today was a so-so day. it was super windy, so that made things hard on everyone.
I thought despite the wind our distance guys ran well. I think they are getting close to popping some really good times.
I thought our sprints crew was kind of flat and lethargic. Probably just needed a week off. We've raced 4 weekends in a row. So they probably just need a weekend off. So we will get a little rest and get them ready for conference in a few weeks."
