Donner's DebriefingÂ
"It was a solid meet overall for us considering it was such a long day. We had 14 personal and/or season bests on the women's sides and 16 personal and/or season bests on the men's side. I also like the consistency that many of our athletes are showing which I believe is critical when preparing for championship meets. It was great to see Gaughan and Sharp climb on our all-time lists in the long jump and shot put. Quinn improved upon her 60-meter dash time and stays at No.2 all-time. Kemp had a great series in the men's long jump to make our all-time list."
