QUOTING WOODY
“I’m super proud of Jamal today, to come back after a disappointing fourth-place finish in the Big Ten meet to become the NCAA runner-up is a testament to his drive and determinations to be the best. He’s a great representation of our team and what we expect to do at the NCAA Championships. I can’t wait to see what Jamal and his teammates do this outdoor season.”
