THOUGHTS FROM COACH MILLER
Â
We had some great performances from both the men and women. Torrion winning the long jump and placing 5th in high jump was our high point athlete on the men's side and the 3rd place from Bryah in the 100m and 3rd place from Leah in the hammer were our high point athletes on the women's side. Overall, I felt we competed well, and we had some people outperform their ranking coming into the meet.
