HEAR FROM THE RAMS
"I just wanted to focus on placement instead of focusing on running a fast time. I would have loved to do that also but I know that the A10 championships are going to be a similar scenario. The course will be a fast one but what really matters is placement! I really tried to focus on sticking with the leaders and finishing well."-Jonathan Hess
