QUOTABLE: "I'm really proud of Cassidy, hitting 20 meters is a really big milestone for any athlete and recording the second best throw in [program history is incredible. I'm so happy for her coming back this year, after not throwing for three years, and trusting a new coach to go all in and continue to progress in her events. This is a testament of her work ethic and focus. It's a good tuneup as we go into conference, I know she wants to do well and we haven't had anyone win the weight throw in a while, I'm really happy with the effort she has showed this season."- Dorian Scott, Head Coach for Track & Field and Cross Country
