They Said It
Head Coach Craig McVey
On the meet
“Both of our teams got off to great starts on Saturday at Miss. College. This was probably one of the top two or three first meets of the season we’ve had since our track and field program began in 2013.”
“We had every event discipline get off to great starts. We had one school record in the men’s 100m. Overall, we had 24 personal bests with 23 of those being top ten performances in program history. Literally, the day started with cool, overcast weather but, our great day started way before the weather cleared and became a great day for track and field.”

“First meets are first meets but, what a great first meet! Everyone has a huge learning curve to use to get better as we go back to practice.”

Up Next
The Badgers will compete in the South Alabama Invitational on March 15–16.
