Donner's Debriefing

"This is our last regular season indoor meet before the league championships and the IC4A-ECAC Championships. There are plenty of different missions for this meet depending on the individual. Some of our athletes will compete and use it as a tuneup for Patriot Leagues. Others are competing and trying to prove themselves to make our league lineup. Others will be competing in their last indoor meet of the season or even their career and will want to go out on a high note and we will rest others to prepare for next week's league meet. Overall, this competition will meet plenty of different needs for our team. We are happy to do it at home."
