“We had our first travel meet of the semester and used that opportunity to test ourselves,” said head coach Mark Anderson. “I thought the girls did a nice job of racing some events, but we still need to do some work before our mid-season meet in a few weeks. One more dual this weekend for the semester, and looking forward to a great finish to semester one.”
