"This was a good day for us as it gives us some confidence and momentum heading into the 2004 SoCon Indoor Championships Feb. 27-28," said head coach Danny Williamson. "We are very happy for our athletes that claimed top 10 finishes in their events and also vey proud of all of those that were able to achieve personal bests. Some of our other athletes were either just inches or tenths away from being at their best ever as well. This was great for us to be able to compete at this level against 23 other universities."
