From the Coach – Head Coach Beau Theriot
"It's hard to sum up 18 hours of competition, but the men's and women's track teams competed very well. They brought a lot of intensity to the meet. I'm very excited for the new school record holders and the ASUN champions. I'm looking forward to continuing our great success throughout the outdoor season."
 
400m Record Breaker – Tyler Rose
"It feels good to break my previous record with this being my last indoor season. For outdoor, I'm expecting faster times in the 400m and helping out in other areas where I can. I plan to qualify for regionals in my open event and hopefully can go even further!"

Heptathlon Record Breaker - Timon Dresselhaus
"It felt really good. I got so emotional even after the first day having so many PRs and just great events. It has been a journey and I have been waiting to put a meet together like this one for such a long time now. I am grateful to finish up my indoor track career like that. I have been waiting to break my previous record for two years now, every year getting close. This meet just felt differnt and it all 'clicked.' God has been super faithful to me this season. Having a great coach that understands what this event fells like helped so much and all the support from everywhere. It has been awesome."
