ACCORDING TO COACH ANGEL
"In this type of meet, the critical thing we check for as coaches is the focus and competitiveness of our athletes. I thought that we did a good job of staying competitive, from top to bottom. We have trained very hard the past three weeks and that has impacted our performance to an extent on the times, heights and distances of our athletes."
"Nevertheless, we still managed another great meet. We had five wins and numerous personal bests. We rose above all expectations today. It's very hard to compete at such a high level every week, but these Bears have a lot of resolve, and I am very proud of them."
