QUOTING COACH ORNER

"As a team we definitely under performed today. We missed on almost all of the goals that we set for ourselves to accomplish at this meet. Our top female runner was about 40 places off and our 5th was about 60 places off. There isn't anything in particular that I can attribute that to but things just didn't come together. I know we're a much better team than how we ran today and I'm going to spend the next two weeks figuring out what we need to adjust before The Bradley Classic."

"Individually, Jenna and Anna both ran well. They finished in the place range that I gave them before the race and both ran personal bests for 5K. It was great to see how well they worked together during the race. Although they're freshmen, they both ran very composed and handled the pressure of the meet well."

UP NEXT

• The Musketeers return to action at the Bradley Pink Classic on Friday, Oct. 13 in Peoria, Ill.
