"Our athletes really outdid themselves this weekend and did as much as they could to help the team get where they did," said Head Coach Michael Dunn. "The whole year was about trying to hit our stride at the right time and our athletes were able to step up and do that. Really proud of both of our groups and now we will see what Aaron [Stewart], Cassidy [Gibson], and Stephanie [Witbrod] can do next week as they try to qualify for nationals."
