COACH NIC HUFFMAN'S COMMENTS

I was happy with how we competed overall. No meet is perfect, but we were able to pull some points together across the sprints, hurdles, jumps and throws. It was a great team effort. I'm excited about what this young team will do in the next few years. This year has been a lot of fun.
