They Said It

"It has been a very exciting season. I've had a lot of personal bests and top times and I want to keep that momentum going as we approach the Big Ten Championships. Cross country really helped me set a foundation for this season, so I'm looking forward to finishing it strong." — Sophomore mid-distance runner Mackenzie Morgan 

"Today was a good tune up and opportunity to build momentum as a full team heading into conference week. Everyone rallied behind each other as we set the tone for a championship mentality." — Head Coach Andrew Valmon
