COACH NIC HUFFMAN'S COMMENTS
- Conference was the usual crazy day full of ups and downs, a full array of emotions and multiple types of exhaustion. I felt we did an overall terrific job of preparing to compete well because we had a lot of personal bests at the right time. The team rallied around each other for support and strength throughout the whole day, plus tremendous fan support.
- The women gave it their best, which is all I can ask for. It's a very young team and we aren't deep enough on our roster to be truly competitive in the conference this year. I'm proud of how they competed and developed throughout the season. They will only continue to improve. I'm excited to keep growing and developing throughout the season.
