INSIDE THE HUDDLE
- "This was a great opener for our men. Cale hitting B Standard, 3 school records, and several pr's today was a lot of fun to witness. Then to find out we won the meet without a full squad is icing on the cake. I am excited to see what this team can do this year." - Head Coach Josh Colvin
THE ROAD AHEAD
- The Cougars aim to build on their strong season debut as they travel to Indiana Tech on Friday, December 12th.
