“We had to make the decision to go to this meet since we knew the league meet was going to get canceled and the league did not have another day to reschedule,” said Head Coach Ruben Reinoso.
“As far as the Burlington meet is concerned we ended up getting third as well (with) Kevin Russo (at) 5.51, so the final score is 45-41. I will use (Coach Bill) Belichick’s line “We are on to States”.”
