When asked about the transition from indoor to outdoor track, Nathan Capps said, "I think this first track meet was a good adjuster from indoor to outdoor. In outdoors there's a different feel for the new events that aren't offered in indoor. Some of the events are longer and it was a good meet to get a feel for the adjustments that we have to make."
