We hosted more than 20 teams and 850 athletes across 3 days. Our lady's multis were phenomenal. Ayden Colbert, who placed 2nd on the men's side, had a banner day as well. Our throwers were sensational, snagging several lifetime bests. Alondra in the hammer had an amazing day. Kiki has a great weekend on senior day, winning the 4x1 and two second-place finishes. Our 1500m guys went one, two, three, and four, and all four ran massive lifetime bests. They came back the next day and dominated the 800m as well. All in all, this was the perfect mid-season meet for our group!"
