QUTOES
"We had a really nice day today. Two individual and one relay All East performances closed out the meet in a great way." – Rider Head Coach Bob Hamer

"Sara had another great race. The conditions were not great today, but she just steps up and gets the job done every time. She is so focused on being successful right now that nothing detracts from her performance. She is really excited for the NCAA First Round." ­– Hamer

"The women's 4x800 and 4x400 ran very strong races today. The last few years we have struggled to race well in those events and these women have completely turned it around. Brewer has been a big part of that. I'm really happy that she has ended her career with two big meets. She has worked very hard and it always has not worked out. However she kept plugging away and it really worked out for her." – Hamer
