COACH'S QUOTE
"It is very satisfying to see so many of our athletes still producing lifetime bests at the culmination of the indoor season. Kenny making the final in the 800m in a really good field is tremendous. Alex had another great day at New Englands and scored a bunch of points as well. The women's milers all had huge success and Bridget's scoring in the triple jump was great too," said head coach
Matt Belfield. "We've got a few more races tomorrow and I am confident there'll be more things to celebrate then."
