"I'm really excited about the results from today's meet" said Head Coach Joe Dykstra "It was great to honor our seniors who have been through so much in their time here. After a month off from competition and going through our hardest training block of the year, I thought we might be a little rusty, but the results say otherwise. We got the chance to see some of our athletes compete in events they normally don't do and they did a terrific job!"
