"Another in-state, great rivalry meet," head coach Fred Harvey said. "We saw some fantastic marks happen here and it was a big fight from our team that you want to see going into the conference championship. All the ladies did a fantastic job. They came together and they fought really well. As we go forward, we're trying to get the team excited about the championships. We're building going into the Pac-12 Championships and it's a great day to be a Wildcat out here in Sun Devil land."
