Comments from the Coach:
"I think everyone was excited to compete and I was eager to see where we were at. We are picking up right where we left off. It is great being able to host our own events, our athletes feel more comfortable and we get to show off our school.
"Going into the next meet we have been focusing on giving feedback to athletes about their technique and performance to push some new PRs hopefully. It was great to see some national qualifiers in the first meet as well as more school records being broken. All of our new athletes did really well and it was great to see some improvement on our jumps team."
The Bees will host the Finals Week Invitational in the WRC on Dec. 8-9.
