QUOTING HEAD COACH Kyle Kepler: "The middle distance and throwing events at the Oregon Invitational will be very competitive. Our gals will have to be at their best to perform well and place high.
"We continue to search for consistency and improvement from all of our athletes. We have a few who have begun to put a string of solid performances together week after week. However, we need everyone in all of our events to escape their comfort zones and take some chances. We need to start to come together as a team so that when the championship part of our schedule begins in a few weeks we are confident and ready to perform our best."
