THOUGHTS FROM COACH STOFFEL

• "We had a great showing at the NCCAA National Championship Meet. Five All-American performances and a school record in the 100 hurdles. We had nine athletes (three men and six women) and still finished well within the team placing. We will head to Marion, IN next week as Kaylyn competes at the NAIA Outdoor National Championship."
