"It was a proud weekend to be Lazer. Hannah and Paul represented the University with grit, and I couldn't be prouder of what the two accomplished this season. The two were the first athletes we have ever sent to this meet, and they are setting the table for their push at individual national championships this outdoor season. Paul set another school record in the mile and placed 19
th in a pool of the best runners in the NJCAA. Hannah competed in the hurdles and will now set her focus towards the outdoor heptathlon and 400m hurdles. Overall, the season was memorable with 24 school records falling."
