If we do what we are sup posed to and we are all healthy, were not going to lose it, not at home. Lane will be tough, they have a good women’s squad and Spokane could surprise us a little bit. On the guys’ side we have a chance to win it, but we are not the front runner. “We want everyone to know that we are at home and that we are try ing to win two NWAACC titles. If we can get a lot of support then that will make a big difference.” Rachel Austin placed second to become an All-American at the multi-event championships and Jazzmin Reece came in at the 8th spot.
