DIRECTOR OF TRACK & FIELD/CROSS COUNTRY ARTIE GULDEN
"We will be spread out at four different meets trying to give everyone a great opportunity to compete. We've had great success the past couple of weeks with many USU all-time top-ten marks, and I hope that will continue at all our meets this week. This is our last chance prior to the indoor conference meet to build on the successes thus far and I am confident we will do that."
