FROM COACH SNELLING
- "That's Aliyah's second biggest number indoors (in the shot put). It was a rough December for her, but we talked after that about the perseverance and the grittiness – to stay focused. To come back and move to fifth in the country, that's awesome."
- "Savannah is just coming back from some injuries over the winter. She's just getting back to it, so it was a positive night for her. February is the big thing. Just get there by February, so she has a little bit of time."
UP NEXT
- BGSU is set to compete in a pair of meets next weekend. The Falcons will take part in Findlay's Alumni Classic Friday and Saturday, as well as Eastern Michigan's Can-Am Classic Saturday.
