THOUGHTS ON THE MEETS
Director Rosalind Joseph: “What a weekend! Another split weekend to make sure all of our student-athletes were able to get the competition they need. Being able to get on the national championship track is good for our student-athletes to experience. We were also able to get some work in between the University of Cincinnati and the Texas State meet to start to set ourselves up for the latter part of the season. Appreciative of our director of operations, athletic training staff and coaching staff for covering the many moving parts of the weekend.”
