Last week was cold and wet and this week sunny and dry and we saw the difference in the performances. That cold and wet week helped to prepare us for this week. We saw outstanding performances and great team support all day long. This is the energy that creates champions and championship teams. Over the next two weeks, if we can train with purpose, get the treatment needed, and maintain our health, we will see even more outstanding performances at the Conference Meet."
