Post Game Press:
“Overall, today’s meet was pretty solid for me”, said freshman Nick Gati (Goshen, N.Y.). “I went into today with a couple of goals set in mind; setting a new PR in the weight throw and putting more power into my throws. I came out of this meet with a new PR in the weight throw, and a pretty decent performance for me in shot put. There is only more work to do to improve and more PRs to come from here.”For the latest information on Hartford Athletics follow the Hawks on Facebook, Instagram, X, and YouTube.Top Results:
