"Overall, the championship went really well," said head coach
Marty Kinsey. "The women ran great and Abby has been battling injuries, so it was really encouraging to see her finish so high in the conference meet. They also ran really well as a team with Kaela and Abigayle really stepping up to help us finish fifth. Nolan and Stuart both had good races on the men's side. That team is young and they are developing, so this has been a good learning experience for them."
