QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
First meet of 2025 under our belt, and it was an opportunity for both teams to shake off the Holidays and get the season underway," head coach Andy Ronan said. "On the women's side, Amelie impressed in the 3,000m, and Danielle, Shaylen, and Enyero produced nice early-season runs in the mile, 1,000m, and 400m, respectively. So, we got some cobwebs off. Now, we need to focus on getting better fitness and competition-wise week by week."
