Donner's Debriefing
"I was pleased with the effort from our team. All of the event groups had a good day with lots of wins but the highlight was definitely Sharp who not only broke two school records but she shattered them and looks to be in a great position to qualify for the NCAA East Preliminaries. I thought the distance runners battled the high winds well and ran good strategic races. The jumpers and sprinters are starting to heat up. It is always nice to win a home scored meet. We have depth and balance."
