COACH SWITZER COMMENTS
 "This past weekend of meets was a great check point for our indoor season thus far. We walked away with a plethora of great performances including new PRs and some New England/IC4A qualifiers. People are continuing to improve each week and its great to see the progression of the team thus far. We're three weeks away from NEC's so it's time to buckle down for another solid training block and get after it."
