for the NCAA Indoor Championships March 13-14 in Albuquerque, N.M., so the Bears will look to better those marks to keep pace throughout the season.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“We have to continue to build,” Harbour said. “Some of the marks put a few of our athletes in good shape to be at the NCAA meet, but we’re still trying to build on that. You
never want to have your first meet as your high water meet. We want to improve on our times and improve on our marks, because everyone else in the NCAA will too.”
