QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"Really pleased with the effort our teams gave over the two days. The majority of our group that were expected to make the finals did; those that were seeded high in their particular event also got the job done. Obviously Collin and George were outstanding, showed great competitiveness and maturity for freshmen. Evan and Fiona battled hard in the 10,000m then came back on day two to score in the 5K's," head coach Andy Ronan noted. "Carlos produced two podium performances in the steeplechase and 5000m, again showing his determination to produce quality results for his team."

"Our team placings are not where we want to be; we are in a very competitive conference, but with time and support we can build with George and Collin to be more competitive as an overall team," Ronan added.
