QUOTE FROM THE JASPERS
Head Coach Todd Witzleben: "The men and women had a very productive week-long training trip in Miami. After a heavy workout load, the meet could have been difficult, but the team took advantage of perfect weather and represented the program at a very high level against pro athletes and some Power Five teams. When the Head Official comes over, after the meet, to thank you for your "competitive and respectful athletes," it makes coaching worthwhile.
