"The Dr. Jack M. Toms Alumni Invitational meet was a great meet for us," said VUU Track & Field Coach Charles Franck.  "It really gave us a chance to see how amazing our teams can be as soon we get everyone healthy.   We still have a lot of work to do but, trust me, the work will get done. We will keep on working hard.  Now our focus is on getting ready for our next meet this weekend at Seahawk Invitational meet in St. Mary's Maryland at Jamie L Roberts Stadium.

VUU will next compete in the Seahawk Invitational, to be held on Saturday, April 1, at St. Mary's College of Maryland in St. Mary's City, Md.
