SEWANEE, Tenn. – Maryville's return to the varsity track and field ranks after nearly a 40-year hiatus could not have gone much better.

"I was excited and pleased with our effort and performances," Scots Director of Track & Field Kunle Lawson said. "As with anything new, there will be some growing pains. But we know where we stand and have a better idea of what we need to do to improve.

"I'm proud of everyone for this step forward in our program."
