"It was a very positive championship meet for both squads - both teams improved their places and point totals from a year ago," said Coach Gerard. There were significant contributions from all event groups.  With so many newcomers, it was many of our athletes first taste of the intensity of a championship meet, which is always eye opening. They all handled it very well. This was, overall, a very good springboard into the outdoor season."
