QUOTES FROM COACH BRUESKE
On the last-minute Seminole Twilight entry… "We're only sending four athletes; we felt like they needed one more competition before the Sun Belt Conference meet so they could be at their best."
On preparation for the Sun Belt Conference Championships… "It's going well. We've got a couple kids who are sore and strained, but other than that I think we'll be ok."
