Coach Holland's Comments: "There were a lot of positives in our first outdoor meet. We had many people break their own personal records already, and we saw a school record get broken and one tied. Weston Geiger broke the school record in the javelin with a huge personal best in the event, while Ezra Acero tied the outdoor pole vault record.
