- “I cannot begin to express how excited I am about this young team. We have been looking forward to this weekend for a long time because the OBU Invite is always a tough meet, however, the wind minimized national qualifying opportunities. That was a bit of a bummer, but across the board, we had national qualifying effort and once the elements cooperate the marks will be hit! Even still, we are not far off and that is exciting! Quori (Shaquoria Thompson) really showed out in her debut after nearly two years with no competitions. Our top men produced like we expected as Josh, Nick and KP took down open records in the 100, 200 and 4. I am also very impressed with some of the others that didn’t break records but improved, Colton Thurman ran two good races (100h and 400h), Charles got into the 15s in the 110 hurdles, and Dylan smoked that 200m! We are coming along nicely!”
The Next Step
