“It was a good meet showing progress in all events,” stated head coach Steve Keith. “We had a number of personal bests and even more season bests which is what you want to see at this time in the season. Always some things to improve, but all in all a good team effort. This should give us some momentum going into our home indoor meet next weekend.”
The Commodores will be back in action February 8-9 in Nashville, Tennessee for the Music City Challenge.
