Holloway's Statement
"We had two good team wins for both the men and women at our fourth-annual All-NC Invite. We had a lot of fun and energy on deck again today- there aren't many times that you have the entire team together at once and it was nice having everyone together and supporting each other," said head coach Braden Holloway.
"We had some freshmen step up in their first collegiate meet and get their first meet records and first collegiate wins. As always we had some leadership from our upperclassmen and overall was a good start to the season for us. We have some areas we need to improve on, and will get back to work Monday to prepare for our next meet."
