COACH'S QUOTE
"We saw many outstanding performances today across all event areas. Coach Parasky and Coach Linehan had our speed/power athletes ready for sure. Erin Carty had two exceptional races in the hurdles. The 400m hurdles time was 6th all time at UVM. Ty Castillo and Sydney Greenidge had really fast 100m finishes as well. Sydney is now 4th best in UVM history. Nice hurdle double from Andres Santiago as well. Big throws from Eli and Samantha in the discus and a nice PR for Ava Buske in the pole vault as well. Many more marks were excellent today, so I hope everyone checks out the meet results.  On top of today at UMass, Jackson and Luke, along with Morgan, all had noteworthy finishes in Connecticut at the Decathlon and Heptathlon respectively.
