Coach Johnson's Take
"This was a last chance meet for us to improve our conference standing primarily with the group that didn't compete at Wichita last week," said Head CoachÂ
Zach Johnson. "We had a few personal bests and season bests in a few events as well. The weather hindered some events, but I thought we competed well. Now we have about 10 days to train before we depart for Portales."
Looking Ahead
With the Lone Star Conference Championships set forÂ
May 1–3 in Portales, NM, the Aggies will use the next 10 days to sharpen their form. Momentum is building, and if recent performances are any indication, Cameron is gearing up for a strong postseason run.
