CALEB'S CORNER
Assistant Coach Caleb Bowen on the Conference USA Championships:
"Well this is the race we've been training for since August. Everything we've done this year has been to prepare us for the conference championship. I'm really excited for both the men and women's teams because I know how much they've worked to run fast this weekend. It's all about being tough and staying strong throughout the whole race. If we can do that, we'll do really well."
