Hear from the Vikings
Here's what head coach Jakin Anderson had to say about the day.

"Great meet from the team today. It was chilly and windy, but everyone was able to power through and compete at a high level."

"It was good to get the relays in. We had a fairly young group compete for both teams, so good experience for them. We also saw a bunch of PR's again. "Riley Ping had a pretty big PR in the 200. Emma Rowen and Sophia Urban also PR'd as well. Samantha Kedsch PR'd in the triple jump and went over 10 meters for the first time outdoors, second time overall."

"Overall a great day for the team. Really excited by the things I am seeing in practices and meets, and hopeful to continue seeing more positive things from this group."
