Quote of the Game
Assistant Coach Roger Cooke
On the women's race
"The women ran a really gutsy race. We wanted to come and give it our best and I think the ladies went out there with a plan and executed it solidly. This is what we wanted to do going into a month-ling break. We're ending on a high point with some confidence and prep for the championship season that's ahead."
On the men's race
"Stone continued to show that he is a guy that can mix it up and be in most of the races. Our men's team is not at full strength and we haven't ran a full-strength squad yet. The guys ran really hard and I'm proud of the efforts that were put in."
Up Next
The Frogs head back to College Station, Texas, for the Arturo Barrios Invitational on Oct. 15.
