Quotes and Notes
"She put herself in position for a big race with a lap to go, but she just couldn't hold on. This was a great field and she did an outstanding job of representing herself and the program. She will be a Second-Team All-American, which is a great accomplishment. She has had an incredible career at Rider and she will be remembered as one of the greatest to ever wear the singlet. I'm really proud of her and I'm so fortunate to have had the opportunity to coach her at Rider."
- Head Coach Bob Hamer
- Schein-Becker becomes the program's second ever All-American joining Emily Ritter, who finished ninth to earn Second-Team All-America honors in the 3,000-steeplechase in 2015.
