WOLCOTT'S PERSPECTIVE

"I really enjoy this meet as it is a way to have us compete with some of the best," Said Head Coach Stephen Wolcott. "This year we were the only NAIA school present in a field with 5 D1, 2 D1 Mid-Major, 1 D2, and 2 D3 programs. The athletes performed well against what could have been some intimidating competition. Our technique was much better than last week. We still have some work to do, but it gives me a lot to look forward to through the rest of the season!"
