HEAR FROM THE RAMS
"We, as a team, are in a very good place because we are always ready to tackle even the hardest courses. This was probably one of the hardest courses of the year due to all the hills which we aren't used to, but we all had a great attitude going into the meet and were ready to tough it out."- Shreya Krishnamurthy
"Mentally, I feel a lot better, especially compared to my last 5K. The course at the last meet was a lot easier, but I was able to tackle these hills and maintain a positive mindset. Physically, I was also a lot faster than I was at my last 5K, so I'm happy with how I'm progressing." - Simone Wilt
