Coaches Quote 
"I don't think I tell my team how proud I'm of them enough... so I want to say that I'm impressed with how they have handled themselves through this though time of uncertainty and just continued to take one day at the time and put in work," McKendree head coach Agne Eggert said. "A lot of personal achievements and battles are not always visible in the results but that doesn't diminish the achievement in itself. We leave this indoor season with a New School Record in the weight throw by Ndia Johnson and a hope to represent McKendree University at Division II Nationals by Eugene Omalla (Tororo, Uganda/Rift Valley Academy). None of this would be possible without the help of my assistant Tommy Whittaker."
