THE ROOS, QUOTED
Head Coach Benaud Shirley
"It was great to be back on the track today. The coaching staff and student-athletes were excited, but humbled, for the opportunity to compete. Ally was spectacular today, it was great to see her healthy and running with confidence. Nahshon also had a good outing in the long jump and will continue to improve throughout the season. Overall, I am pleased with the performances, we competed hard and gave a good account of the program."
"I'm so excited to have opened up the indoor track season with a school record 1,000-meter. Running well in December is awesome, but running fast in March is the main goal, so I'm looking forward to progressing from here. Today was definitely a great momentum builder for the team and our season ahead, and it was so fun to test the fall fitness alongside my teammates."
UP NEXT
The Roos are back next week, traveling to Pittsburg, Kan. for the Boo Rogers Combined Events and the Crimson & Gold Invitational.
