Hogg continued, “We were a young team this year and I’m proud of the way they were focused and competed. The men were great as well and it came down to shot put, the last event of the night, where Jase Franklyn picked up his second medal pushed us to victory. Pete Charles improved his distance in the triple jump. It was a team effort and I am really proud of them. Now with ECAC’s we are sending six and let’s see what happens.”
