I'm sorry about how the article sounded. It was written by a former Prep coach that attended the meet. There were many great performances by many other teams that should have been noted. The person writing the article only had access to Prep splits. I apologize that the article sounded one sided. Prep had a great meet but only because the overall competition in all the events was of such high quality. The girls' performances were equally impressive.
