Quoting Coach Armstrong
• "The coaching staff is proud of the consistent effort and positive approach the team took to a tough weekend of racing. The men's team took control in dominant fashion and never looked back. We saw big wins from every class on the team as well as both relays. It was a close meet today on the women's side with several pivotal races going down to the touch. We can't wait to see what we can do in two weeks at Loyola."
