On the meet
"Our women's team had a solid day in a tough meet. Evelyn had a great day and ran an all-time personal best. She's going to get better every time out. Ava is starting to find out what she can do. She's going to go a lot faster, but I'm pleased with her effort today. We're going back to work as we keep preparing for our conference meet on October 20th."
