“The men had a fantastic day one at indoor nationals,” said Head Coach Bob Braman. “The men are well positioned for a Top 5 finish tomorrow. That would be a really great result for this team considering we’re missing our Ace, Kasaun James, due to injury. I’m really proud of these guys. Out of 7 guys, only Trey has competed at Indoor Nationals before. That’s impressive.”
