HEARING FROM JUNIOR WILL SCOTT
“We’re well prepared for tomorrow. It’s exciting to see everyone racing and seeing people put up the second or third fastest times in the country, which puts us in a great mindset. It’s awkward competing with some of your rivals in the Big Ten, but at the end of the day, we’re all teammates now competing for our conference to take down the ACC.”
