THOUGHTS FROM COACH DAVIS
On the women's performance: We had some great racing in the 60m from Bryah and Aysha, and the weight throw produced some great points for us. Overall, we had a solid meet and gained good experience for some of our younger athletes!
 
On the men's performance: We had our highest team finish since joining the Lone Star and had some great performances. Our DMR, Owen, and Dylan all got first-team all-conference honors, and we had a good group of others who pitched in to score points in a wide range of events. We have some good things to build on moving forward!
