UWP Coach Mike De Witt commented on the GLVC Championships: "It was great to be on our home track for this years meet. Our UWP Team did an excellent job on day two of the meet. The team raced strong after a rough first day on Friday. The adjustments to racing with your focus on energy management during the first half led to some excellent racing with their heart. We had several strong finishes and there was an excellent positive energy that grew during the day. There were a lot of pluses to competing at home and some extra work for our squad. It was a good meet and a lot of fun."
