In response to HuskyColonial
He said one of the things he enjoyed the most was watching the passion and joy that the smaller programs had at being able to compete on such a high stage. It's awesome to see someone like Maura not merely compete but make All-American status.
Besides the PL meet, qualifying for this meet is always a huge goal for our athletes. It's a great experience for them to compete against top athletes from P5 schools.
The PL has a record 8 competitors in the final round this year. Seven are men plus Maura. Navy's 4x400 relay qualified along with a javelin thrower. Army qualified a javelin thrower and a discus thrower. The PL had 8 discus throwers qualify for the first round, including five(!) from Army. The level of competition in the PL has improved dramatically in the past 2 years.
