Quotes and Notes
"We had a great Sunday. The women took advantage of their opportunities today. The women's team has grown a lot over the last few years. The goal for the athletes used to be just to get here, now they expect to accomplish great things. It has been fun watching this growth.
Teagan was outstanding today. She won the 800 in a meet record and Rider record time. She is so dialed in right now and running with so much confidence. She is also a great team player. She came back to anchor the DMR to victory as well and she is really invested in the success of her teammates.
Glasco earned her second All East honor of the weekend. She has been very competitive in all the big meets for us this year. It is a great honor to be All East in two events.
I am really proud of the relays today. This is an area of the program that has grown so much over the last two years. The women are very committed to the success of the relays and the success of their teammates. They believe in accomplishing so much together and it raises all of their performances. " -
