Coach Scott Holland: I’m very proud of our performances today. It was the first time this year that we did not split the squad. Once again, our field event athletes led the way. Amara Oguchi brought another win in the Discus and a school record in the Shot Put. Jack O'Riordan brought a win in the High Jump and Ben Currin scoring in both the Shot Put and Discus.

Madison Breaux and Travis Birdsall scored in 100/110 Hurdles and 300 Hurdles. Cadan Hanson led the way with our distance crew winning the 3200m.

We also had a strong showing in the relays. Boys 4x4 and 4x2 plus Girls 4x4 scored points. The boys 4x1 had a solid showing in their first competition.

I am looking forward to seeing the continued development of these hard-working athletes and the remainder of the team that set many personal bests at this meet.
