HEAR FROM COACH MAAS
"Another pretty solid weekend for us with a split crew at Marquette and the Drake Relays," said head coach
Nick Maas. "Another host of personal bests from our squad at Marquette and a school record in the men's Distance Medley Relay. The men came up just short of winning the Drake relays title by two seconds as Brock took the lead with one lap to go and just missed out on a championship."
"The women also ran a very solid race coming in fifth," Maas continued. "The team showed a lot of heart this weekend and we're really cleaning up some things up as we prepare for championships."
WHAT'S NEXT
Parkside will wrap up the regular season next weekend on Saturday, May 1 at the Marquette Invitational.
