From Head Coach Marcus Evans
"Our men's team had a good day at ISU. We wanted to simulate the flow of an OVC meet with multiple events, and our guys showed we are ready at the right time."
"Dan Card is working hard and our staff loves when he is improving. He is a great example of what silent leadership looks like."
"Ethan continues to jump with ease and is very close to a big break through. When he lets his approach flow it's going to be amazing to see what he does."
"Brandon had another great day winning the 400 stacked with talent from all over the state and Midwest."
"I thought our 200m group finished the day on a high with their performances. This group running well after other events bodes well for our shot at Conference finals and podium finishes."
