"Dawson Lack had his hands full in winning the 60m, but shined in his final winning by the narrowest of margins. Tactically strong, Isaac Barville's one-mile race in 4:15.9 showed he's ready to do battle at the conference level."  

"Team depth showed today. There were numerous strong performances in all the event areas that has us excited to see how good this team is. This week we'll roll up our sleeves again and continue to work hard to better our performances."

"It was great to sweep the top three spots in the women's weight throw, and with that, Justean Landis won her first collegiate meet."
 
"The youngsters came through in the short sprints and hurdles with two freshman, Alyssa Hoffman and Ami Nodji, making it to the finals of the 60 hurdles and a third freshman, Ashley Herrera, making it to the finals in the 60." 
 
"In the jumps, our top marks came in the vault. This week it was Samantha Raines who came out on top for the Eastern crew placing second and closing out the meet for the team."
 
"We have some work to do but that is to be expected coming off the holiday break."
