Meet Info

"We have a lot of different missions for this meet," said Head Coach Kevin Donner. "Some of our athletes will sit it out and train for leagues, while others are still trying to make the league lineup. Others will be just trying to tuneup for the League Meet and competing in an off event. Some of the field event athletes will just be trying to improve on their season-best, and others will just try to end their indoor seasons on a high note."
