THOUGHTS FROM COACH
"We had a solid opening meet on both sides. Emilia Mandal highlighted the women's performances with a big PR and win in the 800, while others gained valuable early-season experience," said Coach Sauerhauge, "On the men's side,
Daniel Armstrong posted a massive PR to win the 800, and
Eli England was a true workhorse across multiple events. Our throwers showed real promise, led by
Logan Villalva's outstanding season opener and a strong group performance. Depsite a few injuries, this meet showed our potential, and we'll get back to work on Monday!"
