JOHN THOMAS TERRIER CLASSIC
COACH'S QUOTE
"Terrier is always a crucial meet each indoor season," head coach Will Feldman said. "For our top distance runners it is when they need to start peaking as they look to qualify for the upcoming championship meets in February and March. For the sprinters and field event athletes this is when they typically start to hit their strides after a hard month of training. For them this should be when they start to see their training starting to pay off."
