QUOTES
"This weekend was a great finale to our 2022 indoor track & field season! It was fun to close things out with so many fantastic performances. We had three school records, two ECAC championships and several top-ten all-time performances.
Â
I couldn't be prouder of this team and the resiliency they have shown after not having a season in 2021. We made the most of our opportunities and stepped up big when it mattered. We'll now take a few weeks to regather and then it's time for outdoor track & field! Fly Hawks!" –
Director of Track & Field and Cross Country / Head Coach Mike Nelson
