HEARING FROM HEAD COACH MARC LONG
“The Black and Gold Meet has always been a fun meet for us to get together and race. We raced last night against Michigan State, but the team was ready to compete against each other. It’s great for them to get some more experience racing, especially since we’ve been training so hard.”
