Coach Bisrat Kidane's Review  Â
"I'm really pleased that we were able to compete at this last meet, which is a tune-up for the CCIW Conference Championships this weekend. We were able to get everyone through, pretty much without any major injuries, which bodes well and allows us to train and do our final prep work. We had some really good performances this weekend as well; some of the marks are really encouraging. Overall, the biggest thing I'm pleased with is that we were able to cap things off without setbacks to our student-athletes. We're looking forward to the final prep work before the CCIW Conference Championships."Â Â
