Quoting Coach Armstrong
• "It was tough back-to-back days of racing and up against some very good competition. The thing that stood out to the coaches was how hard everyone worked for the smaller races. Racing for the win is easy, but digging deep to get the third or fourth-place finish is a special effort! Thank you to William & Mary for making the trip . They are a great team with a rich history and we are so glad they are still strong."
