COACH'S QUOTE
"We had another successful day to close the championship," head coach
Matt Belfield said. "
Lauren Triarsi added the bronze in the 60-meter hurdles to go with her high jump bronze from yesterday.
Alex Siaton scored twice and the men's milers racked up a bunch of points as well. Andie and Carolyn led a strong contingent of mid-distance performances and some rookies stepped up with some inspired relay efforts to add to pretty good team scoring totals."
