COACHES CORNER
Director of Track & Field Wayne Angel commented on the team's performance:
"It was a great second day of competition. We accomplished a lot and were able to identify both weaknesses and strengths that will help us improve our performances in two weeks at the Big Sky Championships."
"We had some noteworthy performances from Regina and Jerome. They both continue to raise the bar at the highest level. Regina was dominant in her section of the 3000m, breaking her own school record in the process."
"We also saw several personal bests from the distance crew. Coach Stormie Sickler is doing a great job with her group."
UP NEXT
The Bears will turn their attention towards the Big Sky Indoor Conference Championships, which takes place Feb. 27-18 in Flagstaff, Aariz.
