"Having our winter break and our people get back on Wednesday night, it is good to see where they are and evaluate moving forward. It is always good to compete in a competitive meet. Princeton is a great program. We have a lot of respect for them. The history of the dual meet has been very good on the men's side. This year we add the women. It is going to be good to get up there and see where we are at currently."
