DIRECTOR OF TRACK & FIELD/CROSS COUNTRY ARTIE GULDEN
"We had a really great opener in Arizona last week for a small part of the team. Most of the rest of the team will open our outdoor season this week. We will face a lot of good competition from other schools in Utah and look to build on what happened in Arizona last week. We are particularly grateful the men's basketball team got the late game slot because day one of our meet will be over and we all should be back in the hotel to watch them beat TCU."
