VIEWS FROM HEAD COACH JODY HUDDLESTON
"The season got off to a pretty good start last weekend and we hope to keep the momentum going this weekend at VMI. The team is very excited about competing on one of the premier indoor tracks in the country, "said Huddleston. "That combined with going up against several SoCon teams will help us determine where we are at this point. We are expecting several good performances from Jessy Page in the weight, Josiah Johnson in the 60m and 200m, as well as Sam Blumer and Devon Merrick in the pole vault."Â
