QUOTES FROM THE JASPERS
Head Coach Keith Prokop: "It has been a great semester with just one event left to go. We unfortunately have yet to be at full strength as a team, but we have such a strong team across the board which is evident in our consistent high finishes. The team is working hard and is excited for our last event of the semester next week."
