more so. All that we’ve been through in the 10 months since we last competed. Our track & field athletes haven’t had the opportunity to compete in a while.”</span><o:p></o:p></p>

we may have some pretty big marks set. You never know. It’s early and just coming off of Christmas break, but we’re excited to see what we do. Get the first one in, stay healthy, and anything beyond that is just a bonus.”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
