COACH'S QUOTE
"We had a very successful day of competition today. Huge meet with a lot going on at all times. I thought our teams managed the chaos pretty well overall. For the women, it was great to see Alex keep her undefeated streak going, and it was exciting to have Rachel back and looking strong in her debut. Ryleigh was excellent in the hurdles and was improved in the high jump from last week.
Erin Carty got her first win as a Catamount in an impressive flat-track 200m.
For the men, I thought Pat Mozden was really good with an impressive double. The 3K guys produced a bunch of great times and Dillon's 600 was impressive. Nice to go 1-2 in the 400 as well, with Kyle and Lukaas. Looking forward to getting on the banked tracks next week at BU and Harvard."
