"Momentum is everything at this stage of the season and as we start to see national level competition, our team continues to rise to the challenge. This meet was a big test for our program and our squad exceeded expectations at this stage of our season. We're closing out the weekend with another school record from Ethan Eisner, numerous personal bests, and a few knocking on the door of new school records in several events.
