Quotes and Notes
"We had some strong performances by the women today in several areas. We do have plenty to work on but that is not surprising coming off the holiday break. The foundation is here, we just need to build on it. 

Vetere and Tucker were very good again today. They have been consistently performing at a high level for us every week. They are very fun to watch compete. 

Giloley had another really nice meet culminating in a number 3 performance all-time in the 200." – Rider Director of Cross Country, Track & Field Bob Hamer
