Director of Track and Field Cale McDaniel
I love that we came out to Nebraska to compete against three strong teams in a scored meet. This was an opportunity to measure ourselves and find out a lot about what we have in this program and in one another. It was a tough week to practice given the weather, so I'm very proud of the fight our kids showed. We have some things we need to get better at and that will be our focus moving forward. We have a chance to be a very special team on both the men's and women's side. It is up to everyone in the program to believe that and keep moving forward every day."
