Comment from Head Coach Jared Krout

I was very impressed with how everyone competed today and we are definitely seeing performances trend in the right direction as we head into the conference championship next week. We were able to add some athletes to the national qualifying list and saw a few others improve their rankings this weekend. We will have some great opportunities next week to solidify those nationals spots.
