Word From Coach:
Coach Silas Eckroad said this about the day, "I'm super proud of how both teams competed today. They fought for every spot and really left it all out there on the course. We have been preparing for this course all season, so I know it was encouraging for them to perform as well as they did on some tough terrain. I look for this one to fuel our women next year after being just five points off a team title."
