TRAMEL TALK
Head Coach Bill Tramel on the Wright State and IUPUI meet:
"As always, we are looking forward to racing. It's why we train all these long hours. We race against ourselves in practice, but it's not the same. Our goal will again be to focus on details and continue to ride the energy we resonated at the Vanderbilt and Xavier meet."
