"Both teams had another successful weekend. Overall, we had three school records and 17 of the 33 athletes set personal records. I thought we carried the momentum built from the Akron Invitational well and although we've been racing them a lot over the past month, they still look energized and ready to go. Over the next two weeks we're going to focus on rest and recovery to get ready for indoor BIG EAST."Â
