QUOTE
"The men executed a solid race today. We are improving each week and I look forward to continuing to build from today's results. On the ladies' side, Amina led us with a very impressive second-place finish. As a pack, we did not position ourselves very well and it hurt us significantly. We will learn from today and be better moving forward as both teams prep for Nuttycombe." – head coach Angela Reckart
