Or possibly the team's good mood was left over from a breakthrough weekend where the Illini achieved 13 NCAA Regional Championships qualifying performances.

No matter the reason, the Illini were in good spirits as they executed a relatively light week of practice before heading to Des Moines, Iowa, for the 100th running of the Drake Relays on April 24th and 25th.
