President and team captain, Scott Burnham stated: “The Indy 500 was a terrific tournament that gave the Marietta team a lot of insight as to what events the other schools are preparing. The tourney also showed the other school’s that Marietta is preparing for a stellar season.”

Ryan Ellis, Vice President of the team said, “This tournament was really high caliber. It was a great jump start for the upcoming season.”

Ben Reese stated, “This tournament was a really good change to see how our events are coming along and test them against some really strong competition. It was a great way to start the season.”

Valerie Price stated, “This tournament was a great start to our season. The competition we faced was tough, but it was helpful to see the variety of pieces and performances.”

“Congratulations to the five brave students who attended a tournament much earlier in the season than we have ever done before.
