"This weekend was a great jumping off point for the second half of our season. Friday night was a great jumping off point with seven athletes running personal bests. Friday's momentum continued in to Saturday as numerous athletes moved up both the MSU top 10 list as well as the OVC list. The 4x1 got us going in the track with a new school record and top 22 time in the eastern region. Everyone competed today no matter the event, heat or situation. As we love what the results were this weekend we must keep moving forward and keep our team goals in mind," said Head Coach Adam Kiesler.
