Quote from Director of Track & Field Beth Alford-Sullivan:
"It was a great meet for my teams in their outdoor opener. The Huskies competed hard and represented in the competition very well. We had a few break-through performances, especially Mekhi Stone in the 400m, and some that need more practice time to adjust for outdoor events. Overall, the Huskies competed well! Thank you to Georgia Tech for hosting a great meet!"
Up Next: The Huskies will travel to North Carolina to compete in the Raleigh Relays hosted by NC State next weekend.
