COACH'S QUOTE
"What a great couple of days of combined event action for the Catamounts! Jackson Baker's podium finish came with a huge lifetime best score and consistent performance throughout. I was really pleased with how our rookies managed the 7 events as well. Very promising for the future of Coach Hill's charges," said head coach Matt Belfield. "Kayla is worthy of significant praise as well. For a junior to set a personal best score by over 100 points shows that her development as a pentathlete is still on the way up. She will contend for big points at America East again this year,"
