Quoting Head Coach Steven Keith:
“We could not be more excited to open up the indoor season this weekend, and it is especially meaningful to kick off the year at our own facility hosting a great group of teams. As coaches, we can’t wait to see how the strong fall training period our athletes had will carry over to our team’s performance at the meets. The Vanderbilt Indoor Opener also gives our athletes a great opportunity to compete against area schools before heading into final exams week and winter break.”
