"Today was a good meet and I'm personally proud of the team," said senior leader Loney. "A lot of personal records and season bests today. We went in ready to leave it all on the track and each week I have getting better in my approach and jump. Just staying patient and trusting the process. Success is gradual. Got a long way to go and I do not plan on stopping."
