QUOTE FROM COACH KROLICK
"We have been preparing to come to Liberty and compete at our best since we started the season. This was a big meet on our calendar. We came away with 12 total Queens Top 10 All-Time performances. 17 athletes achieved personal best marks. We are moving in the right direction heading to the ASUN meet in 2 weeks. Most of these athletes will focus on preparing for the ASUN meet and take next weekend off but we will still have a few who need some extra competition reps going to JDL next Saturday."

UP NEXT
The Royals will be back in North Carolina next week as they will race in the JDL DMR Invitational on February 17^th and 18^th at the JDL Fast Track.
