INSIDE THE HUDDLE

• " This was a great meet for most of our athletes who have been training all Fall to finish before going on Christmas Break.  Gabe breaking his own school record in the Weight Throw was a cherry on top for our team.  He is happy but not satisfied as he is 0.64 meters away from qualifying for nationals."  - Head Coach Josh Colvin
