Head Coach Adam Bray
  
On the Men's Performance …
"Having two men earn first team all-conference honors is fantastic for our program! Led by Collins runner-up finish our men's team was able to have their best conference finish in many years. The future is bright for this team. Up next will be a big challenge when they race at the South Regional in Tallahassee."
 
On the Women's Performance …
"Our women raced really well! We ended up third by just two points. It would have been nice to earn the runner-up trophy but that's how it goes sometimes. The ladies ran really hard, competed really hard and earned some all-conference awards along the way. The regional is also up next for them and we are looking to improve upon our finish last year."
 
On Senior Class …
"Special shoutout to our seniors as this was their last conference meet! They have done a great job of setting the best example of what it means to be a Kennesaw State Owl."
 
Director of Track and Field and Cross Country Cale McDaniel
"Great start to the Conference USA era! Proud to have four individuals bring home hardware! Excited to see what this group does in two weeks at the south regional! Great job to everyone and Coach Bray!"
