Head Coach Tony Miller's Thoughts on the National Meet
"For the men to score 10 points and the women's team getting a point for the first time in a long time was awesome. It's shows what we're capable of. It was an awesome job for the season. The coaches did a great job as well. Now it's time to move outdoors and do it all again."
Coach Miller on Jalen Elrod
"This was an amazing performance. Jalen Elrod being First Team All-American in the pentathlon is unprecedented for our program. It's the first time our program has had an All-American in that event, that's an awesome job by her."
Coach Miller on Miller and Aniamaka
"Cam and Praise becoming First Team All-Americans was phenomenal. It was a great ending to the season for them."
