Head Coach David Poteet on the Teams Performances Today 
 "Brenda Ayuk and Chase Kennedy ran excellent races. I know there is more there from both of them left in the tank. It was good to see Mekhi, Koi and Austin dropping times as we head to conference. The course was a good lead in to the ASUN Championships. It was not real fast because of the grass and hills, but we learned a lot having them run it. Berry always puts on a great race at an excellent venue. We will have to mix up workouts going into the conference meet as I saw some signs of fatigue on some runners, both physically and mentally."
