Donner's DebriefingÂ
"We have plenty of different missions this weekend as we split our team. We are resting a few athletes and giving them the weekend off so they can stay healthy and be hungry for the Penn Classic next week. Some of our top distance runners and top throwers are going to Penn State to compete against some top regional and national competition. All of our jumps and spirits will stay home along with some other distance runners. Last week was more of a team-oriented scored meet while this weekend we have some athletes chasing marks or resting. It is also a fun Friday night as we always run an all-freshmen distance medley relay and we always want to try to win or at least place in the top 2-3."
