Coach's Comments
"Due to the cancellation of the last outdoor season, this is just the beginning for more than half of our Terp Squad. I am looking forward to building on these performances over the next few weeks and am happy to see that we were able to seize the opportunity to perform on our home track early this outdoor season."
