COACH FRANCE'S COMMENTS
"These first two weeks of our outdoor season we were exposed to the highest level of competition in the country to lay the foundation of where we would like to be come championship season. I'm was very pleased with the performances across all event groups - their consistency and confidence seems to be building week after week. We're looking forward to staying local these next couple of weeks to compete and train while we sharpen ourselves for where we would like to be by the end of the season."Â Â
