Quotable 

Grant Crabtree 
"I'm super happy with how the race went for the team today. Everyone was able to work with each other and we had a great spread. I'm excited for our future races because this is just the start."

Caroline Timm 
On her race… 
"I didn't have my best race, but, I am glad to know I can still maintain some consistency. I am using this race to learn what I need to work on and feel at my best for next race. I am definitely hungry for more and looking forward to Texas.

On the women's team… 
 "Today's race really showed how consistent we can be a higher level. The middle of the pack is really proving themselves and showing that our top five has some great potential moving forward. Race after race, it's clear how much depth we are creating as everyone is showing big improvements each week. Overall, we could have done better as a team but with quite a few teammates running into some road blocks this week we did the best we can do and know there's a lot more in store." 

Anna James
On her race… 
"Last night Coach Bray told us to run with no fear.  That's what I had in mind when I raced today. I put myself against fast girls and did not let them push me out of my position. I'm really happy with how my last two races have been because I can show how good of a coach he is."
