Coach Scott Carter called the performance "one of the best I've ever witnessed" and said "Andrew showed incredible mental and physical toughness. He never let any event get him too high or too low. After being fifth in the indoor multi, to become all conference and earn a medal is an incredible achievement!".
 
Carter also had this to say looking forward to the GNAC Championships next week, "Starting off our conference championships with an all-conference performance is a perfect way to enter the conference championships next week. I'm really looking forward to coaching this group next week and there isn't another group of athletes I'd rather coach at a championship meet. Go Saints!"
 
The Saints will be ready for the GNAC Outdoor Championships next weekend, May 13-14.
