QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"Considering the delayed start time and weather conditions, I feel the group of athletes that competed at Monmouth today gave a good account of themselves. Some handled the day better than others, but it is obvious that some of our athletes need to work on keeping their focus on days that the conditions are not perfect.
Miles Ryan had a very good day in both hurdle races, Dana Cerbone is definitely getting back to her best form with two strong runs in the 100 & 200. Other notable performances came from Katrina Rokosz (Javelin), Alexandria Earle (HJ), Danella Dawkins (100 Hurdles), Alexander Kanes (LJ), Alexsandar Zdravkovic (400), and Kyria Moore backed up a good performance yesterday in the Hammer with the same in the Shot Put today," said head coach Andrew Ronan.
UP NEXT
The Seawolves are back on the track on April 1-2, when they travel to Williamsburg, Va. to compete at the Colonial Relays.
