From the Coach – Head Coach Josey Weaver
"We are heading home in a much better place as a team than when we arrived. PRs, new school records, and gutsy performances all across the board for us today. We preached before the meet that we wanted to compete. I'm very proud of the team for how they responded.
We still have a lot of work to do , but we are starting to compete like bears!"
