Coaches' Outlook
Indiana head men's track and field coach and program coordinator
Marshall Goss:
"We are looking forward to our kids getting back into
competition to see if they can put it on the line without a lot
of concentrated practice. We are interested to see what has carried
over from the preseason workouts."
Indiana head women's track and field coach Randy Heisler:
"With just two practices and coming off spring break
we are just trying to see where we are fitness wise. This is
a non-scored meet so we will be moving some people around to
try to get ready for the Big Ten season and the scored meets
we have ahead of us."
