Head Coach Jonathan Carter – Great first meet . We were able to run a couple of events and break 3 school records. Jillian Thorning and Jaime Blázquez both broke the school record in the 5k and Eden Toal broke the school record in the 1500 meters. Traveling for four hours on a bus and we were still able to compete at a high level speaks volumes for our mindset. We look forward to competing at home next meet .
The Sharks will race again on February 28th as they host the NSU Sharks Invitational.
