Comments From Men's Head Coach Darren Herrold:

"Another excellent meet for our men's track team.  Competition was extremely tough, and all the athletes had to battle a very windy evening at Rich Strouse Stadium.  Our athletes rose to the challenges, and placed a very solid 3rd out of 8 teams.  Each athlete and relay continues to improve with every meet and practice, and that shows in our times and placings.  We still have room to improve, but Coach Hokel and myself are extremely pleased with where we are approaching our conference meet and our state qualifying meet."
