Coaches Corner
"We definitely performed the best we could this weekend. Our men's team focused on doing a few things very well, we placed top-3 in four different events.  Our women were short-handed due to injures but were led by sprinter Zariah Greaves who scored 5 team points between her two sprint events. We will return half our points next year and can hopefully add some more depth over the summer and into the next school year." – Director of Track and Field/Cross Country, Dee Brown
