This will be our last meet before the KCAC Indoor Track and Field Championships," said Head Coach Aaron Yoder. "We're excited about getting outside this week to get in-depth track and field training."

Overall, the Swedes walked away with 24 personal bests, 1 event finalist, 1 top-3 finish, 1 school record, and 1 more national qualifying mark.
