Head coach Pat McCurry commented on his team’s performance: “I’m really happy with the progress and this meet showed that for both our men’s and women’s squads. Coach Mark Badowsky’s jump group was the standout group of the meet. Phenomenal performances from them. It was also great to see the Broncos score points across the full spectrum of event areas. We’ll keep building through both recruitment and development to make sure the Broncos are always a force in championship track and field going forward. Lastly, I’m again grateful for the fight our athletes showed. We asked a lot of some of them over the last three days, and they wore the jersey proudly and showed up every time.”
Pending official results nationwide, athletes ranked within their event’s top sixteen will qualify for NCAA Indoor Championships scheduled March 13–14 in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
