QUOTABLES
Mizzou Head Coach Greg Rhodenbaugh
"Our kids did a nice job of stepping up and competing. We really had a lot of best dual meet times or right at their best dual meet times of the season. This really sets us up for the next couple of days as we get suited up (for the Tiger Invite). I'm really happy with how everyone supported each other, it was a great senior day."
