Thoughts from Head Coach Kyle Kepler
"Today wasn't the outcome we wanted, but we were very shorthanded without Carly (Selleck), Kacee (Hildebrandt) and Lucy (Yates). We were battling illness but it was important for them to rest. It gave our freshmen a chance to race and they did well today. Some ran better than others, but overall did a great job and they all gave a good effort."
