Quotable
"Today was the last day of our XC season, and we were focused on executing the full 10k distance. There were a lot of lessons to take away from today; next year we will be back with a full team and better than ever." –
Cole Dawson
"We just wanted to go out with a few of our guys and get the experience. While it wasn't the prettiest race, the guys learned a lot and corrected some mistakes that we had been experiencing throughout the season." – Director of Cross Country
