Chad's Coaching Corner

"Both teams I thought took advantage of another opportunity to race hard. We had several big breakthrough performances on each side and a few where we need to clean up before our biggest meet of the regular season in Louisville at the Louisville Classic. A big thanks to the Atlanta Track Club for putting on a great meet."
