VMI Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Zack Scott:
"The women and men had personal bests while the VMI track and field alumni from '66-'20 cheered them on. After Day 1, Class of '83 David Neville offered  words of wisdom to prepare our team for Day 2: "Today - good or bad - is the past. What are you going to do next?"
