SEWANEE, Tenn. - The Birmingham-Southern men's and women's track and field teams had a strong showing as they creep closer to the Indoor National Championships and the outdoor season.
Quotes from Coach Cox
"It was a meet that we needed to be a part of in every way! To be back at Sewanee for the Tiger Invitational was refreshing, and I'm glad that our team was able to compete and showcase how hard we've been working. We have much more to experience as we gear up for our outdoor season, but after the competitive opportunities we've been a a part of during indoor, I'm confident that we are moving in the right direction!"
