Quotable
> "Today was a great opportunity for our team to compete. Across the board, our performance today shows we are taking a step in the right direction. For Lucy to set a new school record in the steeplechase today was an amazing accomplishment, although she always wants more for herself. Millie and Grace both ran great 1500 times. Ebonee also has several great races today and continuously shows improvement. Today's meet gave us the chance to see where we can improve in the coming weeks. Now we are looking towards continuing to move up in the rankings in the American Athletic Conference and reach more NCAA regional qualifying marks and times as the outdoor season goes on." - Assistant coach James Snyder
