Post Meet Reaction - Head Coach Jim Bevan
"Very happy with numerous performances today. Saniya Friendly is coming around and had an outstanding race finishing second in a very good field in the 60 meter. We went 1, 2, 3, 4 in the mile with Caitlin Wosika winning in a new pb and Taigen, Amelie and Ava following with pb's as well. Alyssa won the 800 wire to wore with a new pb as well. Lina Spjut won for the first time in a Rice uniform in the 3000 with Ellie Schweiker finishing third. We are looking forward to putting our whole team together at conference next week. Many of the team were resting or training today as well."
