"It's been a long time since the weather cooperated when we had a meet in March," Coach Nic Huffman said. "With highs in the 70's and sunny weather, we couldn't have asked for better conditions for our first meet. The physical conditions could have been better for us. We have numerous sick and banged up students who did the best they could. We are training through this meet and we are tired going in, but some good things were happening. It's a short outdoor season, so we have to make these next few weeks really count. We have a lot to work on and we will stay focused on that."
Anderson competes in the Manchester Invitational on Saturday, April 6 at 11 a.m. in North Manchester.
