"Whenever you get a chance to compete against the level of competition that we will see this weekend at Vanderbilt it allows you to really gauge where we are as a team. We have seen great things from each event group up to this point in the season and now we look for everyone to start clicking at the same time. The indoor championships are less than two weeks away and we look to continue the momentum that we have created over the past few weeks down in Nashville," said Head Coach Adam Kiesler.
