HEAR FROM THE RAMS

"In previous races, [Coach Savage] really emphasized starting out fast which is what I did today." -Viktoria Higgins

"The ladies did really well today. For a lot of them it was their first ever college race so it was a chance for them to shake off the rust and shake off the nerves. We did a fantastic job pushing forward in the second half of the race so I am very proud of them." -Director of Cross Country Austin Savage
