OVERVIEW FROM COACH MUNSCH
"It is extremely early in the season and we have been training very hard on the track. Most of our sprinters, hurdlers, and jumpers were competing on tired legs today and many of our distance runners were trying to get the rust off after their cross country season so to have these types of performances today is a great sign of things to come. I am excited to see how our team continues to progress over the next two and a half months leading up to our indoor conference championships"
