“The Boys performed extremely well yesterday.” Said Head Coach Todd Medley, “It was a very long day but they persevered through it and [had] somewhere around 18-20 personal best/personal records set.  I believe we are just starting to scratch the surface on how good this team can be and it’s exciting.  There are a few events to where we haven’t gotten to where we need to be, and we are working very hard to get there.”
