Coach's Thoughts:

"The Gophers had a good day getting ready for next weeks conference championships. Many personal bests on both the men and women teams. While this may the youngest Goucher track & field team ever, they continue to work hard and believe in each other. If we can get healthy this week, we should have great results next weekend."

Next Up:

The Gophers are off during the week, but return to Susquehanna next weekend for the Landmark Conference indoor track & field championships.
