From the Coach – Head Coach Josey Weaver
"We got to compete against some great competition today. IT was achallenging race that taught us some lessons. We will use this feedback to get ready for our next race at Texas A&M.
Our men opened up with their first 8K of the season. We still have some work to do in order to get where we want to be. Our women raced in a very large field. This experience will carry us a long way when we race in big races down the road."
