Coaches Box
Head Coach Pat Henry
on athletes being unavailable due to contact tracing:
"It's discouraging, we can't quite get past all this contact tracing. It got the best of our men's team during the indoor season and now here we are minus a few of our top athletes. It changes everything we're doing at this meet. We're not changing what we're trying to do but we just can't do it. We're going to line people up and we're going to do the best that we can. These athletes that we're taking over there are good athletes and they're going to be ready to go."

on this week:
"This is good opportunity to build on what we did and did not do last week. This is the kind of competition we need, I hope we're a little more prepared as we go forward."
