QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"Always nice for our athletes to get the opportunity to compete at home, today they did so with sunshine and perfect temperatures," head coach Andy Ronan noted. "On a day that produced some very encouraging early season performances there was only one star, George Franks. George continued where he left off indoors, producing two school records right out of the blocks. He shaved a few hundredths of a second off the 100m and 200m."
