"This was a great opportunity for several of our athletes to compete and experience varsity level competition," said Berries head coach, Brian Morrill. "We had several of our kids with conflicts tonight because this meet was supposed to take place earlier in the week. The Spring school play took some of our kids tonight, a few couldn't get off work, and we had some on college visits. We had kids a little farther down on our depth chart step up, and in some cases, win their event and in other cases score points for us. It was great for them to get a taste of varsity competition and a confidence builder also," said Morrill.
