Quotes and Notes 
"We had some really good things that came through on the men's side. It was really nice to get a couple guys into the 400 final. We didn't think we were projected to do that. 

We got some guys into the 1500m and the 800m final, so we're pretty excited about that. We did leave some things on the table today. We were hoping for a little bit better day and we didn't score as many points as we were projected to score, so we got to make some stuff up" – Rider Director of Cross Country, Track & Field Bob Hamer
