QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"Grace had a spectacular run, unfortunately it looks like she will just miss out on a spot at the National meet. But none the less it was great effort; she has moved herself to another level as an athlete," head coach Andy Ronan noted post-meet. "For the second year in a row she made the All Region team. The team result was solid, our goal was the top-10, we fell a little short of that."
