“Overall I was happy with many of our performances,” said Humboldt head coach Eric Carlson. “Everyone now has at least one meet under their belt and should be able to start concentrating on the things we need to do to improve. On a day as windy as it was, we just wanted to focus on competing and placing as high as we could.”
