       "We had some pretty solid performances, especially in the throws and the distance events," Coach Lew Page said. "Our senior leadership and overall depth are going to make this a tough team to beat this season.

The 800 relay team of Ja'Lon Moorer, Marcus Balmaceda, Fraeyman and Pletta sprinted to a time of 1:34.9 and the 400 relay team of Moorer, Balmaceda, Pletta and Brown ran a 45.2 for second place. Finishing the meet was the 1600 relay team of S. Saliga, N. Saliga, Bobby Gintner and Fraeymen, who cruised with a time of 3:44.
