QUOTING COACH ORNER

"We had a few races that went really well, but I thought a lot of people were too nervous and let their emotions get the best of them. Tomorrow we're going to need to calm down, relax a little and trust in the work that they've done to get to this meet. We have eight guys and 11 girls still competing so we have a lot to be excited about."
