STUDENT-ATHLETE COMMENTS

• Caleb Carrao – As a team, I think everyone did beautifully in their own distinctive events. Everyone was close to hitting PR's, if not hitting PR's. I think that's beautiful, because everyone has been working hard as a unit encouraging each other and strengthening each other, so when one person wins, the whole team wins. As for myself, I think similar aspects apply. I've been working hard, I'm happy to see some progress and I'm hoping to improve my personal record in order to get a good run in conference.
• Jair Adams – I believe the meet went really well. We had a lot of freshmen and sophomores that stepped up and did their jobs. I'm really proud of what we've done as a team, especially with the recent snowstorm. I believe we put on a show for our home fans. As for me, I think I had a really good meet. I PR-ed and did some really great things. I'm looking forward to showing what I've been working for and working hard on at indoor conference.

COACH NIC HUFFMAN'S COMMENTS

We had an eventful day and were happy with the turnout. I was happy to bring a meet back to Anderson. The competition was tough. We kept our focus and competed hard. We're getting better each week and starting to figure our events out. Lots of work still to do, but things are starting to click. With two weeks until indoor conference, that's exactly what we want. The meet went really well as a host and that's due to all the great help we had around the program. I'd like to thank anyone that was involved in the day to make it go so well.
