COACH NIC HUFFMAN'S COMMENTS
I was really proud of how our team executed. We competed as hard as we could and a lot of them stepped up to make the meet go smoothly. We had a bunch of PR's or season bests, which is a great time to show up. It was a long, tough day, but we were resilient and put on a great meet. The team did great in capping off the indoor season and we will be looking to be ready for more improvement throughout the outdoor season. As far as the administration and meet manager side, I felt great about the preparation and help I had. There were many people who stepped up and stepped in to make the day go so well. I'm thankful for all the wonderful people who played a part in making it go so well. I couldn't have done it without them.
