Coaches Corner
"This group continues to wow. Both men and women are now ranked #1 in the nation but that hasn't slowed them down at all. They keep dropping time, adding distance and adding new events to the list of national qualifiers. Every meet is fun and exciting with this team. Different people stepping up all the time. One more week of regular season and then it's on to regionals and nationals. As a coaching staff, we're very excited to see what this group will accomplish!" - Head Track and Field Coach, Anne Cleary
