Director of Track and Field Cale McDaniel
On the team's performances this weekend at the Texas Relays and Bulldog Relays …
"I believe this weekend gives us a great idea of what our team can look like when a lot of things are clicking. With multiple school records and countless personal-best performances it is fun to see the kids find success early in the season. I believe the most exciting part is how much more time we have to drop times and better marks. I love this team very much."Â
