Prior to the meet, Anderson recognized men's seniors Will Feebeck and Josh Soden as well as women's seniors Sierra Kalli and Emilie Penick for Senior Day.

SENIOR COMMENTS

Josh Soden – The meet went pretty well. We had some slow starts at first, but we are an endurance-based team even on the sprints side, so we keep going even if it's versus adversity. This is another training meet for indoor conference coming up in a few weeks. It's been nice to compete at AU because I have lived in Anderson my whole life. The experience of running [in Kardatzke Wellness Center] for the fourth year in a row in this building has been great. The atmosphere has been great. I just love this facility. We have the upstairs track, which is a lot different than other places we compete. Just adding that on this Senior Day has been incredible. We're having fun out here.

Will Feebeck – The team did really well. I know we had some good performances. Our 4x400 did a really good job. I think most people are happy with their times. I think it went really well. As a team, we were also really together. I came in as a junior last year, so this is my second year with the track and field team. It's been really great being a part of a team again. I've absolutely loved the coaches and everyone I've been around.

COACH NIC HUFFMAN'S COMMENTS

• Losing seniors is tough every year. The investment and leadership are dearly missed and this is no exception. I wish the best for them and feel confident that they are well prepared to be successful. I'd like to thank them for all they do.
• There was such tremendous help to make the meet go so well. I am so blessed to have such wonderful people around me to make the day go so well.
