Head Coach David Poteet on the Teams Performances Today 
"I don't believe our finishes were indicative of the overall improvement we made with runners this year. You should never be satisfied finishing seventh and I am not. The efforts were there, so I am not unhappy with the runners. Sometimes chance and circumstance play a part, which it did today, and sometimes you just get beaten. We prepared for hills, ran some fast workouts and rested in training. I think highly of all our runners and know they will only get better as they primarily all freshmen and sophomores."
