Coach Herron said: "It was really an amazing
day. We had great performance after great performance today. It
was great to see our team battle and compete much better this
week. There were so many of our athletes that stepped it up
today. I was very proud of them. I think they are just starting
to see what they can do together as a team. We will need that
same type of drive in two weeks, when we go to EIU to compete
for the Region 24 title. If they keep improving and stay
focused, I like our chances of repeating as Region 24
champions."
