KSU Director of Track and Field Cale McDaniel on the Weekend
“Another great opportunity for our program this weekend in Tuscaloosa and Atlanta. These young people took full advantage. Congrats to Kali, Anthony, Gavin, Sarah and all the men on both relays for establishing new school records. We also had some solid performances from Corbin McLean, Louise Tocays, Sultan Simms and many more. It’s always nice to mix it up with the big names in track and field and that’s exactly what we did this weekend. Now it’s time to fine tune and get ready for championship season.”
