QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"Today was our last competition before competing in the conference championships. We had two goals, get a final tune up for some athletes and give some others one final chance to make the bus for the Championships. I feel we achieved both goals. Danella had a good day over the hurdles and Jada did well in the 60m. Grace led a strong group in the mile to some season best performances. Like the men, the women's 4 x 400 finished the day with a strong performance in that event," said head coach
Andy Ronan.
NEXT UP
Stony Brook will travel to Virginia Beach, Virginia, to compete in the Colonial Athletic Association Championships from February 22-23.
