When asked about Madelyn Pittsley, Calib Baker, and Elijah Cree; Cincinnatus coach Morrell said, “I’m pumped for Calib Baker’s future running, but I am also so grateful we had the chance for him to join our team. He also discovered the high jump, and is killing it in that event as well this year. Elijah Cree is a pack of all trades. You can put him in anything. Madelyn Pittsley is also a phenomenal sprinter, and I am really looking forward to the next three years with her.”
