It was a blustery day in Cheyenne, but we competed pretty well. We were able to add a few more state prequalifiers, including six of the seven relays we ran. I really like where we are as a team. The goal now is to score as many points as possible over the next three weeks. It will be fun to see how things unfold at SEWAC, regionals and state.”
