"To be able to have a Senior Day for this group of seniors is very special, and I'm excited to share it with them," Mountaineer coach Vic Riggs said. "These seniors have been through a lot the past 12 months and have done a great job leading this team.
 
"The teams have had two really good weeks of training since our last meet, and I'm looking forward to seeing them take the next step in our season. Notre Dame is a very strong, top-25 program and presents a great challenge for us. This will only help us prepare for the competition we will face at the Big 12 Championship."
