"The athletes started the season with extremely strong performances on Saturday," noted Coach Amanda Milewski. "Not only does it show that their hard work over the last couple of months is already paying off but that they can be competitive with any athlete from any division."

"Thanks to our volunteer assistant coaches Mike Cave (throws) and Zach Stump (pole vault), who work with the athletes outside of our regular practice time. Technique events require specialized coaching," explained Milewski. "We are lucky to have skilled volunteers who are willing to devote their time and athletes who are willing to put in the extra work."

The teams next meet is on Saturday, April 13th at the Mid-Atlantic JUCO Invitational at Howard CC.
