HOUND BYTES
Final thoughts on the three-day event from head coach Jason Hite…
"Incredibly impressive meet as a team on both sides. It's likely we gathered around 13 or 15 to qualify for nationals on both sides, which is the most we've ever had. I think we're excited about what we accomplished and we're looking forward to making more progress before the GLVC tournament and nationals."
