After beating Princeton twice this season and defeating Wisconsin at the Knecht Cup, Radcliffe comes into Sprints with a confidence it can beat the best. The weekend provides an excellent opportunity to capitlize on these skills.“Last year, there were no expectations,” lightweight co-captain Ashley Antony said...
