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."
