“We had a few very strong performances,” said Hornets coach Steve Oury. “Diante Woodson is starting to round into form in the 400. We were able to get some meet experience for several of our younger distance runners. We rested some of our other top distance runners for the Lake Hamilton meet. We still have areas we need to improve and we have a few athletes who are still trying to get healthy.”
The Hornets will compete Thursday at the Lake Hamilton Invitational, which was moved up a day because of the threat of severe weather on Friday.
