FROM HEAD COACH MARCUS EVANS
"I was proud of how our team was able to pivot after the late schedule change. I thought we carried great momentum from last week's meet. All events groups continue to hit PR numbers."
"Our women's team is gaining confidence every time we step on the track.
Alexis Hutchins has been a catalyst for so much success in our group. She is a top competitor in her events and still finds time to be all over the track to support her teammates."
"Each week is a building block for big performances coming in February at OVC championships. We are clicking on all cylinders, and our team steps into every challenge with excitement and a 'why not us' attitude."
