With this being the first meet in nearly three weeks for most Southeast athletes, head coach Eric Crumpecker just wants the athletes to get their feet wet in the outdoor season.
 
"We want them to go get as many good races in as possible," Crumpecker said. "This meet is just a kickoff to the outdoor season and want them to get good work in."
