We really competed well and brought a lot of intensity across the board. I'm looking forward to keeping the momentum going tomorrow."
Aaron Hughes ran a program record 21.49 second 200m in the prelims to advance to tomorrow's final. Hughes will be in two final races tomorrow after running a 6.81 second 60m.
