Director of Track and FieldĀ Cale McDaniel
On the Owls performance at the Bob Pollock Invitationalā¦
"We had a lot of solid performances on day one and I thought we did a good job of coming back and competing on day two. We have a lot of kids that continue to progress and challenge their personal records.
Sarah Hendrick posting a top-three national mark is something that can't be overstated. She is a special kid! Huge congratulations to her and Coach Bray! We have had a solid start to the season but I think this week off is coming at a great time. I'm looking forward to getting everyone rolling before championship season!"
