Coach Logan Simpson had this to say "This is exactly what you hope for in a midseason meet. We did a light rest and suited up, and saw huge time drops, lifetime and in-season bests, event wins, a school record, and a meet win from the women.

More importantly, we got an excellent sense on where we are as a team, heading toward championship season. The growth from the men's team has been outstanding from meet to meet, which has me more excited than ever to see where we can be at Conference in February."
