LOOKING FORWARD

We were pleased to see a handful of athletes perform so well today, and getting a few more national qualifiers is always fun. We still have some key places where we need to put pieces together so I'm hopeful we can do that in the next couple of weeks. I'm thankful for such a hard-working group that has clearly committed to the process, and I feel really good about the direction they're going in.
