QUOTES
"Another successful weekend of Monmouth Hawk Track and Field! It's always fun competing at the historic NYC Armory.
I'm glad we had the opportunity to compete in a two-day meet. This was an excellent dress rehearsal for the championship portion of our season. With the CAA Championships being a two-day meet, it's important to understand how to bring the physical and emotional energy on both days of competition.
We had many new Top Ten performances including two #2 all-time performances. Overall, a very productive weekend!" – Head Coach
Mike Nelson
