open events done. I’m looking forward to it, coming off a really good showing this past weekend at Michael Johnson. We’re hoping to continue to build upon that success, continue to improve and stay healthy, and try to get ourselves set up to finish this stretch
down to Big 12s and NCAAs. We’re coming to the finish line here, and this is another important step along the way.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
