QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"All 3 guys gave all they had tonight, tactically Rob gave himself a great opportunity in the finishing straight to challenge for an automatic qualifying spot but just came up short missing it by just .55 of a second. Luke once again, like he has done every time he had lined up in a Seawolf uniform over his career, gave a 100% effort against a top field and has nothing to be disappointed about, he has been a great student-athlete for Stony Brook. Carlos gave a good account of himself in the steeple but seemed to be a little off his normal competitive self. I am really proud of how our group of qualifiers represented themselves, the program, and the University on this big stage over last three days," said head coach Andrew Ronan.
