"Today was a very good start to the indoor season," said Head Coach Marcus Whitehead. "Once we shook the nerves off, we really settled down and had a big day.  The competition at this meet is very good, so I'm excited to see how day two goes."

Eric Booker placed 14th of 39 runners in the men's 200 meters, clocking in at 23.15 seconds. He also was 46th of 79 in the 60 meters, with a time of 7:16.
