It definitely made our freshmen and soph- omores learn quickly how the meets are run and also deal with some adversity with the conditions. "Our distance runners did a great job all night for us. We had some good times to start off the year and compet- ed well. It was a tough night for our pole vaulters with the rainy and windy conditions, and being able to just hold on- to the pole, but we feel like most of them got off to a good start. Lauren Young did really well for the girls, winning both the hurdles events. She also ran a good leg of the 4x100 me- ter relay. Garrett Boyd also did well in the sprinting event for the boys.
