COACH'S QUOTE
"We had some people perform very well today in really strong fields," head coach Matt Belfield said. "I thought Wyatt's 5K was especially good, and is third all-time at UVM, just behind Matt's performance of last week and Dan's school record from a few years ago. Alex breaking 22 in the 200 is always a big barrier to get under, and his 21.94 is UVM top-ten as well. DJ outperformed his score from last week in the Heptathlon and pick up some team points to get us on the board. For the women, Jane ran her fastest Mile ever and just missed the final.  Her UVM top-ten performance caps an especially strong indoor campaign. We'll get after it tomorrow with a few more efforts and then enjoy some time off."
