Building on that momentum was Ernest Cheruiyot in the 10,000. Keeping the Hogs on the leaderboard were powerhouse performances by Tyrice Taylor and Rivaldo Marshall in the 800 and Jelani Watkins in the 100. Bringing the victory home was TJ Tomlyanovich, Devyn Wright, Zander Cruzan, and Jordan Pierre in the 4 by 400.

Mr. Speaker, this win isn't just a trophy. It is a testament to the hard work of every athlete and every coach this season. I look forward to celebrating the team's future accomplishments and watching this momentum carried into the next school year.
Wooo. Pig. Sooie. Go Hogs.
