Comments: We had a very good day. The women were ranked seventh coming into the meet and the men werenot even in the top ten. We proved the rankings were wrong on this day. This should be a boost for the future ofour program. You proved you can run well, even against such good competition. We’ve climbed a rung and nowwe need to work even harder to get to the next step of qualifying for the national meet.
