• "The week before conference is about fine-tuning things before the biggest meet of the year. We had some athletes drop down a race in distance or concentrate on only 1-2 events and it gave us some pleasant surprises this week. Michael Sheffler and Kendra Schumacher led the way with school records and we had a lot of PR's in limited competition. I believe we are setting ourselves up for some big PR's at conference next week." - Head Coach Eric Kramer
