From the Locker Room
"The effort from those that competed today was phenomenal. We built momentum with the DMR win and long jump last night and continued that today. Obviously, there were several names that didn't compete today, which hurt. We'll look to recover and refocus quickly with the approaching outdoor season." – Lou Snelling, BGSU head track & field coach.
