QUOTES
"We had some great performances today from the men and women's DMR. The women took their cues from the men last night and smashed the school record. Each of them ran great to put Siegle in great position to close out the race. We had a goal coming in to qualify and to get the record. It was really nice to accomplish both today. This group of women really believe they can do great things every time they step out on the track." – Rider Head Coach Bob Hamer
 
"From Ursinus we had a ton of event winners. Overall, today I was very pleased with the effort and competitiveness of the team. We had lots of event wins and that's a very good sign as we start heading into the championship part of our season." – Rider Associate Head Coach Brett Harvey
 
"It was nice to see Khalin get two big wins as a freshman and seeing Fidele start to show the form that's made her one of our all-time greats in the shot put. Lindsay is back where we need to be as well after missing a lot of last season and the fall with an ankle injury. It was great to see her pick up a big win." – Harvey
