Quotes and Notes
"It was a great day for the men. We emphasize a full and complete team and how everyone can make an impact and this weekend was a result of that philosophy. This is a great end to the indoor season and gives us a lot of momentum as we transition to outdoor."

"The 1000 was such an exciting race. Derian is a guy who does everything right. He has been in a position for a huge outcome before but it hasn't yielded that big result but today was the day. He executed the race perfectly and was rewarded with a big win." - Rider Director of Cross Country, Track & Field Bob Hamer
