From the Coach – Interim Head Coach Beau Theriot
"It was great to be back on the track and competing. You could tell it's been a while since we last competed. Overall, the student-athletes did a great job and it was a great stepping stone towards our goals. Anytime you can break or tie a school record in December, at a season opener is amazing."
