"We treated this track meet as a good workout for the outdoor season. Some athletes improved leaving the meet with personal records and season bests. I hope that the ones who didn't achieve what they wanted that they would step up their efforts at practice and will have better results at the next meet," head coach Agne Eggert said
 
"We will continue to build on our training next week and will step up to the start line or runway, or the ring next week," Eggert added.
