Coach Scott Holland: It was a solid outing at a large meet. We are scoring points in multiple events and multiple athletes are providing points. A new school record and several Personal Records were set today. We have a short week of training due to Spring Break. We will split the squad again competing at the Kinkaid Falcon Relays and Crusader Dual hosted by Concordia Lutheran. I am looking forward to bigger and better results from this talented group.

Coach Brent Landrum: After two weeks of games, this team is 7-3. All three losses were close games that we were in until the last out. That says a lot about the character and talent of this team. We have another tough week ahead of us. The Father Wilson and Sister Julia tournament hosted by St. Thomas and St. Pius is always tough. If we continue to pitch, play defense, and get timely hitting like we have, this could be a very exciting year.
