Quotables from coach Kelly Carter
"This meet usually provides some great competition and great weather for great performances, and our Eagles really stepped up to the challenge this week. We have a good deal of our student-athletes from the state of Georgia, and competing in Atlanta helps give their families a chance to see them. It was a great weekend of competition for our program."
