QUOTES

• "I thought we competed well in a really tough meet," said Wilmington head coach Ron Coms. "We usually like to compete at a low key meet to start things off in December, but I thought the kids handled it pretty well."
• "I thought Marissa Bolen started the season off really strong throwing an indoor personal best in the shot put," said Combs. "I think Marissa has the ability to make it to the Indoor National Championship this year."

The Fightin' Quakers are off until January 16 when they travel to the Otterbein Invitational.
