COACH'S QUOTE
"We had some strong performances to finish the indoor season well," head coach
Matt Belfield said. "Andrew's record certainly highlights the weekend. Jane's fifth in the mile with her second PR in as many days gave us more points in the team scoring as well. Dillon, along with a great DMR effort, earned more hard-to-come-by IC4A points for the men."
