Coach Erickson on Mellusi: 
"With the addition of Eric Mellusi and Ryan Kim, we are proud to add the Massachusetts state champions in the discus and indoor shot-put. Both of these young men have huge potential and will contribute by adding great depth to the Husky throws squad. Where Kim is a self-taught technician, Mellusi is a developing rookie in the throws"
