COACH MURRAY SAYS
"Dual meet format is a good test of your depth and we strive to have an overall team. This meet gives everyone competition focus over just chasing marks and with that focus always comes some good performances."
 
"We had some good performances and had a few debuts today to fill in where we were thin and it worked. We needed all the points and the debuts were a good sign of potential. We only left one point unused, it was a good team effort by all."
