"We had the right competition on a great day and we did not take advantage," Coach Nic Huffman said. "We did some good things, but we had a really ugly day overall. We looked better in practice all week and I was excited for some big performances, but we did not show up with our best. We came close and had a handful of small PR's, but we need to figure out how to break through and have our big performances. Time is running out this season. We will continue to rest up and sharpen throughout this next week. I hope we learned some valuable lessons this weekend. We have to do better."
Will Feebeck was named the Anderson XCF Performer of the Meet. The graduate senior from Knightstown clocked personal-record times of 23.92 seconds in the 200-meter dash and 54.52 seconds in the 400.
Josiah Marshall captured first in the triple jump with a distance of 12.90 meters (42 feet, 4 inches). The freshman from Huber Heights, Ohio also claimed third in the long jump with a personal-record (PR) distance of 6.31 meters (20 feet, 8.5 inches).

Anderson put together a 4x400 team of Seeko, Marshall, Zachary Davenport and Pratt, which took fifth with a time of 3 minutes, 29.35 seconds.
