Comments from Coach Krout

It's exciting to see so many big performances happening this early in the season. Both the men's and women's teams have individuals from every event area performing at a very high level. We will have very good opportunites to see more big performances as we look forward to the most competitive meets on our schedule in the coming weeks.
