"I had big expectations for the team," Hawks' standout distance runner Chase Bogart said. "We just need to focus more and step up."

Bogart continued his run of excellence in the 1,600 and 800.

He swept both events for the fourth time this season.

"My main goal was to set school records," Chase said. "I got them. My next goal is to stay undefeated."
