Head Coach Matt Rosado's Thoughts –

"Heading into today I knew we weren't at 100% of our abilities (after hosting a high school meet) but the focus was on how we raced and not too much on the result. I feel like we accomplished that today, having big time performances from Abby Magnuson, Caleb Sayler, and Taliyah Hayes were a huge bonus to the weekend."
