"Another good day for us.  This was a pretty big meet, so it was exciting to see Brendan finish in the #1 position. Drew Beetle and Brooke O'Carroll have been really impressive all Indoor season. I'm anxious now to get in a few weeks of training and see how our success Indoors transfers to the Outdoor season when we compete again a month from now."
