"We had a safe trip to Monroe where we represented our team and our school very well," said Head Coach Brad Hagedorn. "Each athlete performed at a level worthy of the event. The obvious highlight was Bailey earning a podium spot and All-American status. Jasper was our men's highlight with arguably his best series of the year in the shot put. We have successfully set the table for our 2024-2025 season."
