COACH NIC HUFFMAN'S COMMENTS

This meet was the toughest competition we will face as a team all year. We were the only D-III school to compete against some NAIA powerhouses. We didn't back down and we gave it our best. We have a lot more work to do, but I'm happy with how we approached [Friday]. We are improving; we focused on ourselves.
