"The men scored in most events we contested in, but right now we just don't have the depth needed to be able to compete towards the top in the team standings. I was very happy with the number of personal best and season best performances at the conference meet. I'm excited for the growth that we will have next year. We are only graduating one of our men this year, so we will have several guys returning next year, plus a good recruiting class", said Coach Stoffel.
