COACH'S QUOTE
"First of all, kudos to all of the athletes on all of the teams that slogged through some awful weather conditions. It takes a tremendous amount of physical and mental toughness on these 10 hour days we have. I am so pleased that Lily, Emma, and Jameson earned All-Conference honors today. In addition to all the other scorers today, we did have some folks make it through to tomorrow's finals - including some not seeded to do so," said head coach
Matt Belfield. "Our fire power in some events tommorrow isn't as strong as today, so it will be a challenge to keep our team placing high as we finished off today. I'm looking forward to seeing us compete with determination again tomorrow, no matter what the conditions."Â
