LC Coach Brian Herron: I was pleased at how well we placed against some great competition. Most of our athletes that competed at this meet stepped up and did more than hold their own. I believe they did a fine job of representing Lincoln College and what our program can do. We have to stay focused these next few weeks to continue to improve our performances.

The Lynx will be in action again this weekend at the True Blue Invite hosted by Illinois College. The meet will start at 10:30 am.
