FROM COACH KROLICK
"I saw some progress within our group of men's sprinters.
Matthew Sweetenburg is starting to find his stride and we expect him to really make some big jumps the rest of this spring. Today was a good day to get some reps in and start getting into that competitive rhythm for our springs and jump groups. This was a good tune up for our trip to Liberty next week. We are excited to come back with a few of our distance runners tomorrow and do the same."
