QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"Tonight, here at Princeton we started to see signs that we are moving in a good direction as the second half of the season approaches. Carlos was the star of the night with a great performance in the Steeplechase, Evan produced a gritty run in the 5000m to set a personal best run and Luke also has a nice run despite a few tactical errors. At Connecticut today, Katrina had a nice finish in the Javelin, she is starting to perform consistently from one meet to the next," said head coach Andrew Ronan.
