FROM THE COACH
"I'm really proud of the way this group opened up our outdoor season. Ryleigh in lane 8 in the 200. Stella continued to impress. Taylor is taking the necessary steps. The 10k can go one of two ways and this group knew what they wanted to do and they did just that. We're ready for day 2 tomorrow and look to build on the momentum this group set up today"
