“It will be like another conference meet. It will take out some of the nerves of a state meet I think when you look around and see relays and individuals that you have competed against most of the year. If you compete against high level competition like we do in the RVC, it only will help when we get to a state qualifying meet like this, or at the state meet,” he said.
