Coach Allgood Final Season Remarks

"The entire theme of the season was the team being "so back" and that mindset culminated in a great group performance to cap off the year. It was a really foundational year for the younger athletes and I think the group as a whole is ready to carry the good vibes into the track season. We are, as previously stated, so back"
