Post-race quotes:
"The team atmosphere was good, we kept each other calm and relaxed before the race. The start was faster than we anticipated which forced people to make decisions on which packs to run with, so that was a challenge. We came together well after the race and are motivated for Regionals in a couple of weeks." – Emily Mauser
"To compete in the BIG EAST felt exciting and challenging. With this season, I haven't ran at a meet where there were less then 100 runners. So I felt excited to show my skills as a runner, and to show others that I was there to compete." – Spencer DeJong
"Men were patient and confident in their race plan. They ran well as a team, two places better than we expected this year. This is a wonderful group of athletes that I enjoy every day with, but are even better people." – Coach Matt Rogers
