"We are a small group, but we are a mighty group," were the words shared by head coach Ben Barber. "I'm super proud of this group. It was really fun to be able to get out and compete at this meet, and I'm excited to see what's in store for us in the coming weeks."

Senior Noa Miller had an excellent weekend on the track for the Lions, recording a PR in both the 800 and the mile.

The Houston native finished the weekend with a ninth-place finish in the men's mile, clocking a 4:18.78. Following Miller in the same races was junior Fredrick Watkins in 24th in the 800 (2:00.87), and 24th in the mile (4:25.37).

For the women, senior Gabrielle Metzger continued her impressive form following a successful fall cross country season, finishing in 38th in the women's mile with a PR of 5:29.28.
