Quotable
> "We are leaving Navy tonight feeling good about our overall performance today. Considering that it has been a short week for us bouncing back from a Friday meet and running a lot of events, I am proud of our execution. With maybe some tired legs, we still did well. Ebonee continues to do an outstanding job and is off to a great start just two meets into the season. As Helene runs more and more, we continue to see how talented she is and she is very impressive on the track. One person that continues showing great effort it Jazmyne and it will just be a matter of figuring out which event best serves her as an athlete. Overall the progress we want to see from our team is there and we are looking forward to th rest of the year." - Head coach Elvis Forde
