COACH'S QUOTE
"Lots of good stuff today. I was impressed with the scoring performances from Tommy in the 5K and Kayla's pentathlon that was more points than America East," said head coach Matt Belfield. "Nice PR from Megan Quade in the 800 and Colby's first sub-60 400 at UVM. Jacob vaulted well again and Alex ran himself into another 200m final. Big day tomorrow – should have a lot of faster, higher, and farther."
