Head coach John Newman
"We have a lot to be proud of from this weekend. So many personal best marks, a few new AARTFC qualifiers, and a couple of title contenders that battled right to the line. Definitely great to have Erik back in the mix and having him run his two fastest ever 110-hurdle races at the championships. Really excited to see so many guys work really hard to get in the scoring chart today. O'Rourke in disc and Zack throwing over a meter PR in shot to both score team points. Zack came in something like the 21^st seed in shot. So many of our first years contributed this weekend and we are excited for the future of the program with this extremely young team. Thanks to our entire coaching and athletic training room staff for preparing the team for this championship."
