WHAT WAS SAID
"We had another great performance Saturday in Illinois," stated Head Coach Tony Marleneanu Saturday night. "I am happy that we were able to keep the momentum going. We raced the longer events today and with 2 meets in less 24 hours, we still posted fast times! I am happy of the way we looked this weekend and I am excited to see them race at conference in 2 weeks. We are going to spend some time on details and polishing in order to have an amazing performance in 2 weeks. I am really proud of both of my teams!"
