New Conference, not a problem, as they Warriors found their way to the podium multiple times, resulting in a 3rd place finish for the boys and 4th place for the girls. Coach Wiggershaus shared, “I am beyond thrilled with what the kids accomplished today. Both the boys and girls exceeded their projected point totals, 36 Personal Records (PRs) were set along with season best relay times, and these kids battled through it all to place higher in their individual events then they were projected.” Wiggershaus further shared, “I want to give a shout out to my Assistant Coaches, Christian Riley, Hannah Ross, and Nathaniel Geiss. These three individuals poured themselves into these kids and worked very hard with them. The kids responded, and today, we showed what we can do. WOW. I mean, every race was a highlight reel for our team!”
