The men and women combined for ten top-three finishes in field events, including five wins.
From Coach Peterson:
"I think it's a real treat for our kids to be able to compete and perform at home, it's so rare for us. This is such an old, but historic stadium. I love training here and I love having the opportunity to compete here because there's still some life here. It was such a beautiful day, and we were able to still produce some good marks even though it's very early in the season. On the women's side Mary Carson in the pole vault, who made attempts today at our school record, which is very unusual for this point in the season. Also, Jessica Duckett in the 100-meter hurdles, ran 13.75 into a head wind. It was also great to just get our men going. We don't have indoor track for them, so this is their opening track meet after a really long year of perpetration. To have the opportunity to compete at home in front of classmates, friends and family, it's wonderful."
