QUOTING HEAD COACH FIELD MILLER:
"Don't be afraid to make some mistakes and learn from them is a big philosophy we follow. Several of our athletes saw season bests or personal records this weekend. I think the biggest take away this weekend for some was the ability to race with urgency and take calculated risks."
