HEAR FROM THE RAMS

"I approached today's race with a calm mind and clear thoughts.I will go into A10 with that same mindset and confidence regardless of today's results. My goal for A10 is to PR, hitting my 21:59 again. I will strive to beat it or to get close to it. I really just want the team to do well as a whole."-Madelyn Anderson

"Our confidence throughout the season has been really good, we are patient on the front end which allows us to attack the middle of races better and have a little more control. This allows us to do what we do best and speed through the end of the race with a lot more strength."-Austin Savage
