COACH'S QUOTE
"Despite the five week lay-off, we had a lot of really good results today. We will work to get sharper over the next couple meets and get some consistency with our training now that we're back on schedule.
 
Kudos to Nick Kidder, Alex Beal and Nate Wanger for their victories. Alex's sub-five was a tremendous performance. Sydney Greenidge produced the 4th fastest 60m dash time in UVM history with a very impressive personal best."
