Quotables from Coach Kelly Carter
"I'm so happy for our athletes. The Georgia Tech Invite provided a great vehicle for us to continue to perform. We had two school records go down and a lot of shuffling in the top-10 places in Georgia Southern history in various events. We also had a number of PRs in the last two days, and it's all validation that hard work pays off!  We are looking forward to competing at home next week."
