Head Coach Eric Houle Said:

"I'm hoping this weekend will continue our improvements as a team. BYU always proves to be an excellent opportunity for those athletes who still need to hit a mark that will get them to the conference championship. In addition, I am hoping the athletes we take to Stanford can run marks that will put them at the national level."
