"Friday, November 21 will go down as a stupendous day of racing. After a great day of racing Thursday from our relays…we carried the momentum into Friday. Each and every racer kept the atmosphere alive, which in result made the Bulldogs faster. I am very proud to be called a Wingate Bulldog, especially now after an amazing and inspiring two days of the meet. The team captains are extremely excited to see what we deliver in the next two days. The best is yet to come! Geaux Bulldogs!"
